MY STRENGTH IS ETERNAL

My strength is eternal
They seek in vain
That seek her external
And up in failure, they gather up again

The rose of my distant being
At my door, sets him early in the morning
To my gullible heart, he promises a gift of future
While in his arms are my misery secure

Being a prey, he's become a hunter
Arming himself, he makes his dwelling a corner
That he may deliver my soul to his blade
And not from the scorching sun, a shade

But my strength is eternal
And my gift not regional
Lest my tender future is starved
And not from this tyrant, saved

They find grave
That seek to put me in cave
And on their carcasses stand
The vultures afterward descend

So my strength is eternal
They seek in vain
That seek her external
And up in failure, they gather up again
