Healing
So shaking and wan we are
In frighten peace to pant
We breathe short-wind broil
Our nature have been polluted
Our food have been poisoned
Our blood have been daub to erect our soul
Aah! Gentiles have over taken our land
Tread on our blossom appetite
The hostiles bruise our flowers with harm hooves
Heal! Our land
Our nature have been dominated by lavas
Shedding red like meteors of trouble heaven
Sending many to a room of a person
Our acting the genesis of the hazards
Those arms moulded in naturefrom mother's womb
To chase these pagans from our holy land
From our ancestors of centuries castles
Heal! Our land
The boot is on the other foots
Who will lead us to get the bum's rush?
They are coupling in secrete
Who will stop the butchery display?
The beasts are shattering our efforts
They are breaking our lives for their taste
Uneven and unwelcome news from the sphere of the nation
All theme of our arts is hopeless
We share red and sad our daily
Heal! Our land
A blot on our landscape are increasing
