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
of another land
The gods love Nubia
The beautiful, the golden
The radiant, the fertile
The gentle and the blest
The pain of Nubia
Is only of the moment
The desolate, the suffering
The plundered, the oppressed
The gods love Nubia
Their glorious creation
Their songs roll sweetly
Across the harvest plains
The tears of Nubia
A passing abbaration
Are washed into the river
And are never cried again
The gods love Nubia
We have to keep believing
Though scattered and divided
We are still its heart
The fall of Nubia
Ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart
Take me in, my dreams recurring
Cheerful as a childhood dance
Into one more taste of freedom
One more longing backward glance
The gods love Nubia
The beautiful, the golden
The radiant, the fertile
The gentle and the blest
The pain of Nubia is only of the moment
The desolate, the suffering
The plundered, the oppressed
The gods love Nubia
We have to keep believing
Though scattered and divided
We are still its heart
The fall of Nubia
Ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn
Apart
Take me in
My dreams recurring
One more longing backward glance
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
of another land
The gods love Nubia
The beautiful, the golden
The radiant, the fertile
The gentle and the blest
The pain of Nubia
Is only of the moment
The desolate, the suffering
The plundered, the oppressed
The gods love Nubia
Their glorious creation
Their songs roll sweetly
Across the harvest plains
The tears of Nubia
A passing abbaration
Are washed into the river
And are never cried again
The gods love Nubia
We have to keep believing
Though scattered and divided
We are still its heart
The fall of Nubia
Ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart
Take me in, my dreams recurring
Cheerful as a childhood dance
Into one more taste of freedom
One more longing backward glance
The gods love Nubia
The beautiful, the golden
The radiant, the fertile
The gentle and the blest
The pain of Nubia is only of the moment
The desolate, the suffering
The plundered, the oppressed
The gods love Nubia
We have to keep believing
Though scattered and divided
We are still its heart
The fall of Nubia
Ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn
Apart
Take me in
My dreams recurring
One more longing backward glance
