Ode to Tarharka
"The God has come from the lands upriver
to liberate and rule downriver,
the God so blessed by Re the Sun,
tall and well built, hue as the night so strong,
all the userpers fled out west,
these petty kings were not our guests,
for centuries invaders ruled in Khem,
ravaged our motherland, all them.
Chorus
Tarharka mighty God and King,
Swept from the South with lightening sting,
his armies destroyed all the invaders,
from lands beyond the sand and of mauraders,
who placed themselves on our throne,
claimed our history and claimed our homes,
but we the sons and daughters of Nubia-Cush,
no one shall make us slaves, not us.
II
And so he looked out to the Khuru Sea,
the barbarians assembled in the Polynese
and so his men they came from East,
and said be ready for the Nenivese,
The Sons of Asshur plan to attack,
and its our duty to push them back,
and keep Nubia-Cush safe from all of them,
and spread our power beyond Khem.
III
Year thirty-five thirty-nine after Solar Calendar,
we heard the thundering of the invader
their horses swept through the Sea of Sand
came across the Sinai one million,
but we Nubian-Cushites of the Gods,
used our minds and defeated the hordes.
and let our descendants know as well
in or lands no Shemites shall dwell."
