Run, [1] Run, The Ones Who Run [2]
Run from God’s Earth [3]
Away from the Great Blackness [4]
Which blankets your country with darkness
To the Great Whiteness [5]
Which accepts you with compassion
And return to God’s Earth
After you have wiped the Great Blackness
From the face of your beloved country
