| '''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
