When our world was young
The struggle of the first began
The gods of and reason
Sought alone to rule the of man

They battled through the
But still neither would yield
The people divided
Every soul a
Every a battlefield

I bring wit, and wisdom
Precious gifts beyond
We can a world of wonder

As was told in of old
To the of immortals
Marble white and gold

Let the love of shine clear

Armed with and liberty
With the and mind united
In a single perfect
