The Gods Love Nubia Lyrics

[AIDA]
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 for the moment
The desolate the suffering
The plundered, the oppressed

[NEHEBKA]
The gods love Nubia
Their glorious creation
Its songs roll sweetly
Across the harvest plain

[AIDA, NEHEBKA]
The tears of Nubia
A passing aberration
They wash into the river
And are never cried again

[NEHEBKA, AIDA, MEREB, NUBIAN WOMEN]
The gods love Nubia
We have to keep believing
The 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

[ALL]
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 blessed
The pain of Nubia
Is only for 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 it's heart
The fall of Nubia
Ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning
Though the flesh is torn apart
My spirit will keep on burning
Though the flesh is torn -

[AIDA]
- Apart

[ALL]
Take me in my dreams recurring
One more longing backward glance
