It seems you have mistaken our silence for weakness We were just being patient like our elders & our teachers Even though, even though, we have been the peaceful ones You send your secret serpents to terrorize our town But its our street Its our home Its our land Its our blood Its our time to rise above your crumbling ground System Down, System Down Our voice is found, System Down! Well It seems the Nuba Mountains are echoing our voices With desert chants, & the Nile’s fury we must demand our own choices Even though, even though, we have been the peaceful ones You send your secret serpents to terrorize our town But its our street Its our home Its our land Its our blood Its our time to rise above your crumbling ground System Down, System Down Our voice is found, System Down! x3 System Down, System Down Now Al-Sha’b Youreed Isqat Al-nizam (The people want the order to fall) Ramey Dawoud: ----- Sudan, it's in my veins, this is the land Of the mighty river Nile and the Sahara sand No matter what you claim, Arab or African We're all the same when it comes to this here plan We must look back to the ancient civilization Restore the dignity of this mighty nation They will lose because the truth, they don't wanna face it They wanna take our history and erase it But we won't let them! No we won't let them! We will fight back and oust out the system Chant for "Isqat alnizam" (the order to fall) until it hits them And to the ignorant, may God bless them The fire has been lit and the revolution started No looking back now never half hearted Dearly departed, your memory is alive Finally the people of Sudan rise! ----- Even though, even though, we have been the peaceful ones You send your secret serpents to terrorize our town But its our street Its our home Its our land Its our blood Its our time to rise above your crumbling ground System Down, System Down Our voice is found, System Down! Ya Oumdourman, System Down Ya Imtidad, System Down Ya Port Sudan, System Down Ya Nas Khartoum (people of Khartoum), System Down Even though, even though, we have been the peaceful ones You send your secret serpents to terrorize our town But its our street Its our home Its our land Its our blood Its our time to rise above your crumbling ground System Down, System Down Our voice is found, System Down! Al-Sha’b Youreed Isqat Al-nizam (The people want the order to fall)
