Cyrus the Great (The Cylinder of Liberty)

[Verse 1] In the land where the Tigris flows, A king arose, the world would know, Cyrus the Great, with wisdom wide, United lands on every side. He conquered Babylon’s mighty walls, With mercy strong, answering the calls, Not as a conqueror, but a liberator, Bringing peace to a world much greater. [Chorus] Oh, Cyrus, the king who freed the slaves, On the Cyrus Cylinder, he paved the way, A declaration for the people, A message so clear, it echoes today. In freedom’s name, he wrote the law, For every man, woman, and all who saw, Human rights and dignity, Cyrus the Great, you set us free. [Verse 2] From the lands of Persia to Babylon's gates, He promised justice, to right the fates. End the oppression, let the people rise, With a heart of compassion, he saw through their eyes. On the Cylinder, carved in clay, A legacy for the world to say, Freedom to worship, and laws to obey, No more fear, no more dismay. [Chorus] Oh, Cyrus, the king who freed the slaves, On the Cyrus Cylinder, he paved the way, A declaration for the people, A message so clear, it echoes today. In freedom’s name, he wrote the law, For every man, woman, and all who saw, Human rights and dignity, Cyrus the Great, you set us free. [Bridge] Through Babylon’s gates, the banners flew, Justice for all, that was Cyrus’ view. No more tyranny, no more chains, The king of Persia broke those reins. [Chorus] Oh, Cyrus, the king who freed the slaves, On the Cyrus Cylinder, he paved the way, A declaration for the people, A message so clear, it echoes today. In freedom’s name, he wrote the law, For every man, woman, and all who saw, Human rights and dignity, Cyrus the Great, you set us free. [Outro] From the walls of Babylon to the world’s embrace, Cyrus the Great left his mark, a sacred trace. A king of mercy, a ruler wise, His legacy shines through all our eyes. Cyrus, the Great, who set us free.
