Anthem chess Lyrics by Michael Ball

Anthem chess Lyrics

    (tim rice/benny andersson/bjoern ulvacus)
    From the musical, chess



    No man, no madness,
    Though their sad power may prevail,
    Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
    They rise to fail


    She is eternal
    Long before nations' lines were drawn
    When no flags flew, and no armies stood
    My land was born


    And you ask me why i love her
    Through wars, death and despair
    She is the constant
    We who don't care
    And you ask me would i leave her -- but how?
    I cross over borders but i'm still there now


    How can i leave her?
    Where would i start?
    Let men's petty nations tear themselves apart
    My land's only borders lie around my heart
