Ancient one, Mighty One
You who call the rains to come
You whose trumpet birthed all things
We need your ancient wisdom now
The truth you bring
Indlovu, Bayette, Bayette, Ancient One
Make my heart pure like yours
That I might find an ancient cure
To heal the lonely heart of Man
Who has forgotten he is one with all the land.
Indlovu, Bayette, Bayette, Ancient One
Night birds sing a warning song
A shot rings out, the deed is done
Indlovu screams, Indlovu falls
The Earth turns red the vultures come
Her tusks are gone
Indlovu, Bayette, Bayette, Ancient One
