I saw the universe, I held it in my hand
The planets and the stars, merely grains of sand
The darkness that I knew is no more
The sun will shine for me, of that I can be sure

This is the day, the day of my ascendance
A time for life, a time for independence

NEVER AGAIN will I bear arms against my brother
NEVER AGAIN will I dishonour anyone
NEVER AGAIN will I wish evil on another
NEVER AGAIN will I spill blood of any mother’s son

The age of Gemini, a dazzling creation
A new enlightenment, a great illumination
Dark acts of history must never be repeated
I know I must treat you, the way I’d be treated

This is the day, the day of liberation
A time for life, for new regeneration

NEVER AGAIN will I bear arms against my brother
NEVER AGAIN will I dishonour anyone
NEVER AGAIN will I wish evil on another
NEVER AGAIN will I spill blood of any mother’s son

I’m climbing now, I’m gaining altitude
And now my hands can feel the grip
My head is spinning with a synergy
The power that takes me up and up

NEVER AGAIN will I bear arms against my brother
NEVER AGAIN will I dishonour anyone
NEVER AGAIN will I wish evil on another
NEVER AGAIN will I spill blood of any mother’s son
