[Verse 1]
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe
A wondrous dream came into being
Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste
All shining eyes, but never seeing

[Chorus]
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?

[Verse 3]
The guns replace the plow, facadеs are tarnished now
The principlеs have been betrayed
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
History’s debt won't be repaid

[Chorus]
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?
Thank you, that was Beneath, Between, Behind, backwards and forwards, ok, from our Fly by Night album
