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 wraiths and the people we've abandoned The life, we've surrendered to the streams
Oh Rhodesia, given you my vow And I owe nothing Nothing and nothing and nothing and nothing
One fire fights one fire One-nil, one-nil 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
Oh Rhodesia, given you my vow And I owe nothing Nothing and nothing and nothing and nothing
One fire fights one fire One-nil, one-nil Rights by rights falter Strengths by strengths do fail
Oh Rhodesia, given you my vow And I owe nothing Nothing and nothing and nothing and nothing
One fire fights one fire One-nil, one-nil Rights by rights falter Strengths by strengths do fail
