Mr. Bond – Like A Diamond

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

I lit the dark ages, with my bright ideas
Shed so much blood and sweat, I had no time for tears
Smell the rose of the winds, dive in the hydrosphere
More than just necessity, my drive to pioneer
Pressure makes diamonds, in Skaði’s deepest breath
When life handed me lemons they would freeze to death
What’s freedom? Freedom’s being able to…
Pursue your duty to the race, like you came to do
Make your plow, wake the rooster every day anew
Keep the graves adorned, and the cradles full
I came from the frost, see my iris blue
And even in the twilight of the Gods, what’d I do?

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

I’m shining religiously, sun wheels and solar crosses
Don’t need clerics and holy books showing me who the boss is
Felt his presence in the forests, ice storms and the marshes
And every living being bury warriors with their horses
Corpses rot and blood is one with the soil again
And the firs grow taller above loyal men
I don’t crawl before my God or beg for anything
That’s not how he made me, abject and born in sin
He made me proud and defiant facing any foe
Smack injustice in the face with an angry blow
I came from the frost, see my iris blue
And even in the twilight of the Gods, what’d I do?

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

Could say I always was on track, but that’d be lying a little
You can’t spell alien without a ‘lie’ in the middle
Instead of kicking him out, we justify his acquittal
And try to figure him out, like he’s some kind of a riddle
At times I’m too innocent, kind to a stranger
Must be the Achilles’ heel of noble blood and better breed
You let virtue guide your deeds and parasites will smell a feast
Then demand a set of keys invoking your humanity
He’s beneath me, because I’m pure blooded
He wants to bring me down, so he can rule the darkness
I came from the frost, see my iris blue
And even in the twilight of the Gods, what’d I do?

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
