I am a child in ambush with no means of defense. There is no hope for resistance. I submit in silence. I lie with the enemy and betray my soul. My courage, it fails me. I am a prisoner of war. I find myself a slave To the ruler of this world, My dignity defamed, Sowing seeds of the fruit of the fall – The fall for which he blames. I will not endure this prison. Take heart, defy these shaking hands. There must be truth, there must be freedom. With broken legs I'll make my stand. I won't lie with the enemy Or betray my soul. I will find the courage To be a Man at War. I am a child in ambush with no means of defense. There is no hope for resistance. I submit in silence. I lie with the enemy and betray my soul.
