Read Time:1 Minute, 5 Second

And the gods came
Making three mountains one
Striping the hood naked
In the name of clothing
Crudity in the name refining
And the gods left
For the godsons
Neo-colomental

And the godsons
Having bath in Euphrates
Voyaging on the sea
Hercules of the gods
Smears to their hood
Sacrilege to the shrine
Godsons of the invaders
Well trained in theft
Neo-colomental

And they came
In masked smiling
Sugarcoated words
Smiles,smiles like that on spell
In the opt for these
Dreams of home supposed
Hails! Sons of the gods
Neo-colomental

And they came
Hunting preys in their hood
Caressing the sores of their gods
Salting the eyes of their kinsmen
Alajobi will ask I know
Thieves after thieves
They came swearing
Neo-colomental

Just this yesterday again
Another group of felt-cheated
In the sharing of National yams
Specialised thieves came
Change! they sang
Every twinkle of their eye, Change!
Retrieving every words they made
Collecting looted loots for looters
Neo-colomental

Just then, some goats came
Funding change the change
When did we turn your jokers
Sons of the gods; brothers
When the clarion shall
Call out loud
We will die together
Wiping out these
Neo-colomental
