Translation
Bilingual
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed fool is king
Mediocrity is the jewel in the ruler's crown
Corruption of the mind, blood upon the hand
Every leader is a sell-out, every follower, a broken soul
Oh, beware goodfella, you're now in a lion's den
And no manner of prayer is gonna save your pride
See, they'll mash you and kick you and dance around your pain
As you lie upon the fangs of the vicious beast, whoa
ย
ย
Like the vultures on the hill awaiting upon the dying
They suck from the poor, the weak, even the little child
They claw their way up the ladder with a foul smell
Greed is their banner and wickedness be their shield
So beware, goodfella, you're now in a lion's den
This land where no one speaks when evil is done
Oh, we cower in fear and quietly slink away, ay-ay-ay
Because no one dares to look in the eyes of the beast, whoa
And mother's calling, she's calling the children of hope
The wind is a-turning (good fortune is on the way)
ย
So the war to be fought will not be with a gun
We transform our minds and the works of our hands
Together lift up the arms of mother justice
Merit and excellence in everything that we do
But beware, good people, they won't go silently
This army of evil will fight to the very last
For the living, downtrodden and the ones yet unborn
We shall sweep away the rot of the stinky beast, whoa
And mother's calling, she's calling the children of hope
The wind is turning, and good fortune is on the way
