Lyrics:

We won't reveal our ailments, and what haunts our sleep nightly
In this tiny little world, we've locked ourselves in so tightly
And the dead stand between us like wreaths and the people we've abandoned
The life, we've surrendered to the streams

O Rhodesia, I've given you my all
And now, I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

All that's left now are dreams of kings we've murdered to dissect
For our meddling intellect misshapes the beauteous forms of things
So, we bleat a little, twist a little, rotting in the belly of the beast, while you feel
You cannot be wrong

O Rhodesia, I've given you my all
And now, I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

O Rhodesia, I've given you my all
And now, I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail

One fire fights one fire
One nail one nail
Rights by rights falter
Strengths by strengths do fail
