Lyrics

ON THIS ROCK

first from the south, then from the north
then from all corners they came
drawn by your power, silent and unmoving
through battle after battle still they came

on this rock, on this rock
on this rock, we?ll make our stand
on this rock, on this rock
on this rock, we will remain

Hercules placed you, in this perfect setting
you stand proud and tall
soldiers and merchants, come pool your talents
come stand proud and tall

on this rock.................

and as the years roll by, and the waters swirl around you
and the world grows smaller and the battles still surround you
and the migrating birds stop to visit the apes
that live above the people on the rock that will always be there

on this rock...............
