Nigeria, A theatre of blood and of senseless massacre of human lives,
Blood flows and stains your nationhood daily,
In a manner less than the killing of sturnidae
Your children die in the hands of your enemies
Yet thou are silent like the grave
Oh Nigeria! Tell me, is this you,
The proud warrior of African?
Tell me, if this persists,
Whither your beauty?
Whither your sweat?
Whither your might?
Arise Nigeria!
Arise Nigeria!
Arise Nigeria!
Arise now!
