Oh, what a fateful day,

My people have been torn away.

All my brothers and sisters, Spilled their blood on the sand. My dreams of victory, Are now just a fantasy, Our way of life is lost, Laid to rest in the dust. Our ancient gods forsaken, No more will they awaken, Our temples lie in ruins, As our culture slowly fades away. We were once proud and strong, But our spirit has been weakened and wronged. We were not the first to feel

The pain of a nation,

But most certainly we’ll be the last.
