When courts and debates were all ruled by true justice
The people abused it and there came injustice.
When all laws were used to defend the innocent
The rich abused it and they made the truth absent.

Now I see a nation that is punished and pale
Because the strong and the foundations became frail.
All the proper systems that dwell in the land died
And the people did works that are undignified.

From a land overflowing of milk and honey
It was turned to a land that is dry and thirsty.
And from a sea prosperous in pearls and fishes
It was turned to a sea polluted by curses.

Who would ever predict that this day will happen?
And who will ever know the end of this famine?
In the days when the splendor of the land was here
Many wanted not the Supreme One to draw near.

So tell me, who will be humble enough to cry?
Even if your pride can’t, why won’t give it a try?
Who will dare to take off man-made doctrines and lies
So that the land will see the end of this demise?

Citizens, dare to lend your hands and make a stand.
Glory must be seen again in this dying land.
