It's time to tell the truth explaining all The greatest tragedy we've ever known That marked the end of our history And the beginning of the era of misery
One man who thought he was a deity Invoked a dark and alien entity That spread so swiftly as a firestorm Destroying every form of art and free thought
Raping our culture, Killing our people Setting a new order Of total submission
We will burn all that's dear to you, We'll enslave your native land Leaving you to dwell in grief Through the thousand years of terror
From this day forth our life turned into hell Our nation was cursed, when the righteous warriors fell As torture went on we were forced to humility Soon our hope was gone, lost in the sombre infinity
They have burnt all that's dear to us They've enslaved our native land We were doomed to dwell in grief Through the thousand years of terror
They took our life!
