[?7hStars and StripesAs my mind wanders to what came beforeThe beauty, the glory, of what was in storeI'm aghast by the chaos wreaked by our flawsWeren't content with our treasures; had to have it allThe pride and the glories, those latent disgracesThe wickedness twisting our spirits and facesThe greatness forgotten, the gold's changing to rustOur wealth was ill-gotten, our lives are crumbling to dustOur voracious expansion, insatiable desiresthe inherent corruption that fueled passions firesThis hidden agenda, this dark conspiracyhas denied to our heirs their rightful legacyThough this land was once a symbol of mightIt was conquered by greed, dark hearts in the nightBy aspiring to glory we faced doom insteadFor fools rush in where angels fear to tread    ë.
