Banks of the Nile (Altered Lyrics)
Last year I re-worded the traditional "Banks of the Nile" to make it queer-themed and pertinent to the ongoing psychological war against LGBTQI rights. I have a wav file of the recording and was wondering if anyone would be interested in working on the musical end of the piece. The revised lyrics are below and thank you for your consideration in this matter. Banks of the Nile (altered lyrics) Oh listen! Hear how the drums do beat, my love, no longer can we stay The bugle-horns are sounding clear, and we must march away We're ordered down by military and it's many the weary mile To join yet one more Army again on the banks of an Historic Nile Oh Willie, dearest Willie, don't leave me here to mourn Don't make me curse and rue the day that ever I was born For the parting of our love would be like parting with my life So make me your home, my dearest one, and I will be yours for all time Oh my Manny, dearest Manny, sure that will never do The governments' have ordered slaughter, and we are bound to go The government's have ordered slaughter and our conscience gives command so I am bound on oath, my love, to serve in that foreign land Oh, but I'll cut out all of my fear and I'll run away with you I'll dress myself in camouflage, and we'll find our promised Eden too I'll stride beneath your banner while fortunate pride it do smile And we'll comfort one another on the banks of some happier isle But you are in a conversion camp and they have bullied you with their prayers And under the sultry sons of sultans your sweet nature would recoil Where the tanks do blast and rattle, when the bullets they do fly And the twisted trumpets sound so loud to hide the dismal cries Oh, cursed be those of such cruelty, that ever their hate began For they have robbed our countries of many a good human Yes, they've robbed us of our loved ones- why their bodies they still feed the lions - On the red and bloody deserts which are the banks of their forsaken Nile.
