Before evil comes to invade our lands
Before they come to change our minds
Before they come to kill our lives
Ancestor's Ancestors were there, enjoying the flow of nature!
The freedom of the wind was their measures of life
The freedom of the waters, was the first guiding teacher
Ancestors are the ancient source of lives
Without them, we are not even here!
Ancestors never harm the earth...
Ancestors were the kindest people on earth
Ancestors were the first soil
Ancestors were the first to toil
Ancestors build and create their own
Ancestors were the first engineers
Ancestors were the first doctors
Ancestors were the first teachers
Ancestors were the first government
Ruling by nature and love domain!
Now Oh earth remember them
How they killed them yesterday
This is the secret of the enemies
Ancestors give life, the world kills!
Ancestors build, the world destroys!
Ancestor's spirit, the world's demerit
If you think I am wrong, prove me
And explain the use of my death yesterday
Yes, enemy kill us yesterday!
But here we are today
But sad to say we were here and been reborn!
But they prepared us a slave cell
They welcomed us by slave name
They blocked our minds by their slave book!
Wake up your Chi Oh every Igbo man!
And cry a plea for nature to bring us back
To bring us back where we first began!
For no heaven nor hell awaits the living soul
Now Oh, slaving world come and take away your make-heaven from us!
As well as take away your hell injected on us!
That we may go back and serve the one who created us!
