Lyrics

These are the lyrics of For The Foundation:

Verse 1: Once in the Western-march, a new Foundation stated: Southly of the parch, a Haven is created.

Chorus: For the Foundation, the great Foundation; The Bridge Base Foundation, which offers salvation!

Verse 2: The Haven thrives, from stuff it refinds; A felon's dive, is followed by a rise.

Chorus: For the Foundation, the great Foundation; The Bridge Base Foundation, which offers salvation!

Verse 3: When the Haven's dark, with once-great crumbled walls; The Foundation retards, but it never truly falls.

Chorus: For the Foundation, the great Foundation; The Bridge Base Foundation, which offers salvation!

Verse 4: Through the harsh weather, through all the fell crises; Bridge Base forever, give haste to the Foundation.

Chorus: For the Foundation, the great Foundation; The Bridge Base Foundation, which offers salvation!
