I saw seven youths walking by outside the other day

You’d think out to enjoy the sun and the ray

7 on their phones, nothing to say

Or perhaps no one to say it to

No one was listening to the ones around them

Those within reach, so out of reach 

What’s really going on in the world today 

Analog I remain 

Yes I remain

Take a look where you’re going

Give them some real advice

Engaged in their digital haze

Obsessed with damn device

It was supposed to improve communication

Now we’re inna self-imposed isolation

Back in the day

We played ball every day

Computers were sci-fi

Back in the day

A gig was a job it was something that would pay

Rams were animals no megabytes no way 

Memory was inside

Now you buy and upgrade 

A window was something you had to clean

Ram was the cousin of goat, hear what I mean

Meg was the name of a woman around the way

A gig was a job for those long nights I say

Searches solving problems

Others grow by the day

Crippled without internet

Ah so dem stay

axum

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Glorious Axum (Axumite)

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Never could you die

Never could you fade and never you divide

Oh Oh Axum

 

Oldest capital in Tigray region

Home to the hosts and legion

Teff we did ah trade inna the season

Yodit guilty of treason

Economic dominance inna the region

Ark of the Covenant reason

Ezana separate from the heathen

Still unbeaten

We worked so hard on the obelisk I

33 meters high

Underground counter work mystify

King of Kings from the time of Za Haqalai

Sheba where she grow and she reside

Menliek born, Menilek die

St. Mary of Zion was built by Janhoi

 

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Glorious Axum (Axumite)

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Never could you die

Never could you fade and never you divide

Oh Oh Axum

 

Before the Romans wrote

It was the beginning of the Silk Road

Where we did honor and we did hold

Chapel of the Tablet and the Tablets of the Law

It was the city where the Emperors were crowned

A pilgrim's holy destination 

Where the bath of Sheba was filled with milk of goat

And we still celebrate the festival Timket

 

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Glorious Axum (Axumite)

This one ya named Axum (Axumite)

Never could you die

Never could you fade and never you divide

Oh Oh Axum
