Metakix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One for all, all for one
The wheel and the colors
Spell Freedom
Blood that spilt, dried in the sun
With bricks and bones
This Nation was done
CHORUS -
My country, my only land
The universe in a grain of sand
There's nowhere, like where I am
All my people, go hand in hand
Darkness fell the test of time had begun
With a will to survive
It was soon undone
Pride and glory of father to son
The vision that was has now become
CHORUS
Guitar solo - Viresh
Politics a new adversary
The promises they make and the masses they forsake
Not one moment will I wait to watch the tears
Helpless eyes hoping for answers to appear
There's one person with the might to end it all
Silently awaiting the final call
Don't look around you it's within that you will find
Spirit of the brave men, the sons of the motherland
