'''The Coming''' | |||
Where did our people rise? | |||
From Talma, land of rice and meat, | |||
The Naengites at our feet, | |||
Then we were forced to greet and serve | |||
Then some of us had nerve, | |||
To disobey and swerve, | |||
And we did not deserve this rule | |||
So we migrated west, | |||
To this new land, the best! | |||
Or so the Clooa pests, they said | |||
We overthrew the wrong, | |||
And then we made more song, it seems, | |||
And if we weren't a team, | |||
We couldn't make this dream come true | |||
Where did our people rise? | |||
From Talma, land of rice and meat, | |||
The Naengites at our feet, | |||
Then we were forced to greet and serve | |||
