The Gods Love Nubia |
|
Take me in my dreams recurring |
|
Cheerful as a childhood dance |
|
Into one more taste of freedom |
|
One more longing backward glance |
|
In the sway of somber music |
|
I shall never, never understand |
|
Let me slip into the sweeter |
|
Chorus of that other land |
|
The gods love Nubia, the beautiful, the golden |
|
The radiant, the fertile, the gentle and the blessed |
|
The pain of Nubia is only of the moment |
|
The desolate, the suffering, the plundered, the oppressed |
|
The gods love Nubia, the glorious creation |
|
The songs roll sweetly across the harvest plain |
|
The tears of Nubia, a passing aberration |
|
They wash into the river and are never cried again |
|
The gods love Nubia, we have to keep believing |
|
The scattered and divided, we are still it's heart |
|
The fall of Nubia, ephemeral and fleeting |
|
The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart |
