I am a child in ambush with no means of defense
There is no hope for resistance
I submit in silence

I lie with the enemy and betray my soul
My courage, it fails me
I am a prisoner of war

I find myself a slave
To the ruler of this world
My dignity defamed
Sowing seeds of the fruit of the fall
The fall for which he blames

I will not endure this prison
Take heart, defy these shaking hands
There must be truth, there must be freedom
With broken legs I'll make my stand

I won't lie with the enemy
Or betray my soul
I will find the courage
To be a man at war
