SONGS OF WAR

Written by: Ivy Akpesiri


Flood fire, blood fire flow into the dark streams,

   Chase them, raze them

Victory is ours, victory is ours!

 

Sango strike him dead, be it my mother's daughter

or son of my kinsman,an enemy is an enemy;

   Dusk till dawn slaughter

Victory is sure, victory is sure!

 

Bury him alive but without his head

may Orunmila shave his head with broken bottles,

  His beard with an axe:

Victory is ours,victory is ours!

 

Refusal to join this song

will be a ticket to sojourn to the Land of defeat;

   Oduduwa bears us witness

Victory is sure, victory is sure.
