Chess New York movie - Anthem lyrics

rate me

<br>

[ANATOLY]<br>

No man, no madness<br>

Though their sad power may prevail<br>

Can possess, conquer, my country's heart<br>

They rise to fail<br>

She is eternal<br>

Long before nations' lines were drawn<br>

When no flags flew, when no armies stood<br>

My land was born.<br>

<br>

And you ask me why I love her<br>

Through wars, death and despair.<br>

She is the constant, we who don't care<br>

And you wonder will I leave her -- but how?<br>

I cross over borders but I'm still there now.<br>

<br>

How can I leave her?<br>

Where would I start?<br>

Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart<br>

My land's only borders lie around my heart.<br>

<br>
