Fortune Favors the Bold Lyrics

I've seen the kingdoms falling down,
I've watched the empires rise,
The rich becoming powerless
And fools becoming wise

And every time there was a man
Without the sense of fear
The one to break the walls apart
And never shed a tear

If you're searching for silver
You will never find gold
Who knows what the future will hold
All I know,
Is that fortune favours the bold

The soldiers carrying sword and gun
The children armed with dreams
The battle for the years that passed
When no-one heard their screams

No prayers for the fallen ones
The wicked will prevail
But a man who faces destiny
Will live to tell the tale

Like the words of a wise man
Like the stories foretold,
Who knows what the future will hold
All I know,
Is that fortune, favours the bold
