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
