Nigeria, we failed thee
To serve our fatherland
We watched the nation slipped from our grasp
To the hands of animals
Nigeria, we failed thee
Our heroes sacrificed all for our fatherland
Only for it to be sacrificed again
By inward enemies
Nigeria, we failed thee
Again and again and again
Peace and unity
Are now just faded words
Nigeria, we failed thee
We don't have the strength to serve
No longer loyal, faithful or honest
Those words have no meaning here anymore
Nigeria, we failed thee
You have risen, now you will fall
For your people never loved you
Neither in your prime nor in your downfall
