 Old  pirates, yes, they  rob I;
Sold  I to the merchant ships,
Minutes  after they took  I

  From the bottomless pit.
 But my hand  was made  strong
By  the 'and of the Almighty.
 We forward  in this generation
triumphantly.

 Have no fear  for atomic energy,
 'Cause none of them  can stop the time.  = VERSE
 How long  shall they kill our prophets,
 While we stand  aside and look?  Ooh!
 Some say  it's just a part  of it:
