Mauritania

Mauritania
The shoreline’s asleep, dawn is near — sparkling eyes with anger and fear
Still white, untouched sand — our home, our land
The first rays of light and we see — the fog is crawling over the sea
An army of spears, their target’s sincere
One sign and ground is shaking — under hoofs of a thousand steeds
While all resistance’s breaking — dawning day of the other creed
Mauritania, all your banners fly, darken our sky, world’s about to die
Mauritania, land of desert sun, you did sent your proudest sons
Veiled warriors on strange mounts that roar — a spawn we have not seen before
A diction like spells born somewhere in hell
The halfmoon brand is glowing — in the heart of the ancient towns
Another wind is blowing — sweeping dust off the ancient crowns
Mauritania, all your banners fly, darken our sky, world’s about to die
Mauritania, land of desert sun — you did sent your proudest sons
Mauritania, is it heaven’s will — all the lives you spill, that you rage and
kill
Mauritania, you’re so far away — you did sent your sons to stay
Sons of the desert, listen:
Be aware of the higher might
Whether Muslim or Christian
They all fear the eternal night
Mauritania, all your banners fly, darken our sky, world’s about to die
Mauritania, land of desert sun — you did sent your proudest sons
Mauritania, is it heaven’s will — all the lives you spill, that you rage and
kill
Mauritania, you’re so far away — you did sent your sons to stay
