Lyrics

[00:00.417] Take me in my dreams recurring
[00:10.057] Cheerful as a childhood dance
[00:19.487] Into one more taste of freedom
[00:28.499] One more longing backward glance
[00:36.832] In the sway of somber music
[00:44.408] I shall never, never understand
[00:52.192] Let me slip into the sweeter
[00:59.898] Chorus of that other land
[01:08.284] The gods love Nubia
[01:12.150] The beautiful, the golden
[01:15.859] The radiant, the fertile
[01:19.542] The gentle and the blessed
[01:23.252] The pain of Nubia
[01:26.700] Is only of the moment
[01:30.357] The desolate the suffering
[01:33.910] The plundered, the oppressed
[01:37.619] The gods love Nubia
[01:40.884] Their glorious creation
[01:44.437] The songs roll sweetly
[01:48.016] Across the harvest plain
[01:51.333] The tears of Nubia
[01:54.782] A passing aberration
[01:58.334] They wash into the river
[02:01.626] And are never cried again
[02:05.361] The gods love Nubia
[02:08.914] We have to keep believing
[02:12.336] The scattered and divided
[02:15.653] We are still its heart
[02:19.467] The fall of Nubia
[02:22.785] Ephemeral and fleeting
[02:26.364] The spirit always burning
[02:29.315] Though the flesh is torn apart
[02:34.540] Take me in my dreams recurring
[02:41.358] Cheerful as a childhood dance
[02:48.071] Into one more taste of freedom
[02:54.785] One more longing backward glance
[03:02.230] The gods love Nubia
[03:05.443] The beautiful, the golden
[03:08.891] The radiant, the fertile
[03:12.600] The gentle and the blessed
[03:16.101] The pain of Nubia
[03:19.288] Is only for the moment
[03:22.945] The desolate the suffering
[03:26.602] The plundered, the oppressed
[03:29.789] The gods love Nubia
[03:33.289] We have to keep believing
[03:37.025] Though scattered and divided
[03:40.604] We are still it's heart
[03:43.973] The fall of Nubia
[03:47.552] Ephemeral and fleeting
[03:50.896] The spirit always burning
[03:53.665] Though the flesh is torn apart
[03:57.635] My spirit will keep on burning
[04:01.057] Though the flesh is torn -
[04:08.502] - Apart
[04:12.447] Take me in my dreams recurring
[04:19.134] One more longing backward glance
