The Gods Love Nubia - Album Version

作詞：AIDA     作曲：AIDA

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 of the moment
The desolate, the suffering,
The plundered, the oppressed

The gods love Nubia,
Their 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

AIDA and OTHERS:
The gods love Nubia,
We have to keep believing
Though scattered and divided,
We are still it's heart (Yes, we are)
The fall of Nubia, ephemeral and fleeting
The spirit always burning though the flesh is torn apart.

Take me in (Take me in)
My dreams recurring (my dreams recurring)
Cheerful as a childhood dance
Into one more taste of freedom
One more longing backward glance
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 of the moment
The desolate, the suffering,
The plundered, the oppressed

The gods love Nubia,
We have to keep believing
Though we're scattered and divided,
We are still it's heart (Yes we are)
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 apart.

Take me in my dreams recurring
One more longing backward glance
