lyrics

one man built a road into the wilderness
one man cleared the trees away
one man smoothed the rock and chiselled into its face
something you can see from space

army number one was wanting to invade
army number two held the base
took a million men and built up a barricade
something you can see from space

tiny little spark and a big gust of wind
grew into a wall of flames
now everybody has got to evacuate
something you can see from space

one man was the ruler of a great empire
married at a very young age
lost the woman that he loved and built in her place
something you can see from space
