Old Assyria
where have you gone
our people is dying
genocide has won

Fire and bomb-attacks
killing people day by day
children lose their parents
in their eyes the question why

Old Assyria
we´re expelled from native ground
why happened this destruction to you
a new homeland we´ve never found

Only tears and blood and fear
make us hopeless and so sad
whole people very fast must flee
into a life without future and bad

Old Assyria
why is this Christians destiny
to be persecuted in this world
where only violence is to see

Many of our brothers and sisters
in all these years so cruel died
to rescue our people´s rest
we must be ready now for our fight

Oh, old Assyria!
