WHO ARE THE ASSYRIANS?? Who are the Assyrians? The kids at school would say, Are you people Christians? Do you go to church and pray? What country do you come from? What language do you speak?, We’ve seen you write - from right to left It’s really quite unique. I’d look at them in disbelief Could they really be naive?, Have they ever read a history book? To see what we’ve achieved. How could they not know us? We were the world’s first nation, The people of Mesopotamia The Cradle of Civilization. The land between two rivers The Euphrates and The Tigris, These rivers are shown on our national flag With the sun and all its brightness. We were the first inventors We showed you the unknown, We taught you how to read and write From letters carved in stone. We devised the concept of time for you We gave you the seven day week, We discovered the signs of the zodiac Astrology – another technique. We inspired you with our wisdom When Ashur built the first library, We brought order into your court rooms With the laws of King Hammurabi. We introduced you to Christianity We were the first to believe, The Bible was written in our mother tongue The highest honour that one can achieve. We constructed the Tower of Babel And also the Gate of Ishtar, We invented the wheel, we invented the arch And Astronomy to study the stars. We built Nineveh the world’s greatest city Hanging Gardens of Babylon too, The gardens that Nebuchadnezzar built So his wife could have a nice view. How proud we are of our history Our pride is our Motherland, But lately we’ve seen – that something’s not right We’ve been touched by the enemys hand. Ancient Assyria – the Land of the Kings Whos’ empire once ruled the world, The nation our ancestors fought to protect Is now being run by the Kurds. King Ashur, King Sargon & King Nemrod too Would all be ashamed of us now, Gilgamish, Akhiqar & Tiglat Pilaser Would be scratching their heads saying…HOW? Have you forgotten the massacre of 33 When they slaughtered your fathers and sons?, When they took all your women and raped them by force The nightmare had only begun. When they took all the babies and speared them with swords And used them to light up the fire, Then stood back and watch with a look of content The Kurds had fulfilled their desire. Thousands of Assyrians fell victims To the Ottoman Turks and the Kurds, As they continued the Assyrian Genocide Through the villages – the screams could be heard. The blood of your fathers, your brothers and sons Has not yet dried on this land, Yet today you sit, in your high powered suits And agree to the name KURDISTAN!!!. KURDISH CHRISTIANS!! How dare you? – we don’t accept Who gave you the right to decide? Our name was all we had left in this world That allowed us to be recognised. If YOU want to lower yourself and accept This title you now have approved, Then please - relinquish your Assyrian rights The majority does not share your views. The Assyrians have suffered for thousands of years From country to country they’d roam, Never giving up hope that maybe one day They’d have a place to call home. Never giving up hope that maybe one day Their flag would fly free and with pride, Blowing in the breeze, above the Nineveh Plains Letting it be seen worldwide. But sadly we see, that is not to be Their fighting has all been in vain, So now we’ll sit back and take orders from Kurds Our DIGNITY went with our name. --------------------- |
