Inyoka Ezizidlayo

Inyoka edla yona uqobo,

igqiba umzimba wayo,

kusale iqiniso lodwa,

sonke sesiyinyoka leyo,

sizidla thina, sizibulala thina,

they trained us well to bite our own.

Nabathulayo, nabo bayacala,

nabo ababukelayo,

umlando uyabuya,

uletha ubulungisa.

Inyoka, inyoka,

ezizidlayo,

sonke, sonke, sonke, sizidla thina,

abathulayo, nabo bakhona,

inyoka, inyoka,

umlando uyabuya,

this no be war for the flesh alone,

na war for the soul we don lost.

Bafundisiwe ukuzonda umfowabo,

bafundisiwe ukungaboni udadewabo,

inhliziyo yodwa, kodwa yahlukaniswa,

ngobuqili, ngamanga, ngokwesaba,

who dey silent when the fire dey burn,

na him tail go bite am when e turn.

Nabathulayo, nabo bayacala,

nabo ababukelayo,

umlando uyabuya,

uletha ubulungisa.

Inyoka, inyoka,

ezizidlayo,

sonke, sonke, sonke, sizidla thina,

abathulayo, nabo bakhona,

inyoka, inyoka,

umlando uyabuya,

this no be war for the flesh alone,

na war for the soul we don lost.

Abathulayo, abathulayo,

ababukelayo, ababukelayo,

umlando uyabuya,

uletha ubulungisa.

No be the hand alone wey hold the matchet,

na the eye wey close, na the mouth wey shut am,

umlando kawulibali, umlando uyeza,

ubulungisa abunye, kodwa buyeza kancane,

sonke sizongena ecaleni,

even the ones who thought silence go save dem.

Inyoka, inyoka,

ezizidlayo,

sonke, sonke, sonke,sonke sizidla thina,

abathulayo, nabo bakhona,

inyoka, inyoka,

umlando uyabuya,

this no be war for the flesh alone,

na war for the soul we don lost.

Umlando uyabuya,

ubulungisa,

inyoka ezizidlayo,

sonke.
