Intro

Blessings and honor to Akoth Salome the Oracle of Aquarius

Salute to Odede King Chiel

Orudi high priest of Ethiopia who named the spirit

Magero Asa Rateng the scribe

Mabira the mathematician

Jah guide

Verse 1

Lion

Great king

He led the forest fighters in the mountain green

Before the world knew his name he was the flame

Head of the Mau Mau rising high

Kimathi stood beside his side

Strong hand

Bold man

Ondeto is the sun within the three

Olo the Father

Alo the Mother

One holy family tree

Chorus

Ondeto has risen for the final call

Yie kuon chier waking one and all

Return to the glory

Return to the light

The black star is shining through the night

Ondeto

The Sun of the Trinity

Ondeto

Our soul's infinity

Verse 2

Akoth

She builds

Kikongo rising from the red earth dust

Where every scattered seed must find its home

The center of the spirit and the trust

Pilgrimage for the weary

Pilgrimage for the brave

Legio Maria carries the word

The ancestors spoke and the children heard

True blood

One God

Chorus

Ondeto has risen for the final call

Yie kuon chier waking one and all

Return to the glory

Return to the light

The black star is shining through the night

Ondeto

The Sun of the Trinity

Ondeto

Our soul's infinity

Bridge

From the roots of Ethiopia to the Kenya plains

Break the metal and the heavy chains

Olo is the root

Alo is the fruit

Ondeto is the light that makes the garden grow

Kikongo is the place where all the rivers flow

Unity

Divinity

The time is now

Verse 3

The scribe

Records

The return of the king in the spirit flesh

The math is perfect in the cosmic mesh

Africans coming home across the sea

To the original ancestor Olo we flee

Greatness

Justice

Our light has come at last

Chorus

Ondeto has risen for the final call

Yie kuon chier waking one and all

Return to the glory

Return to the light

The black star is shining through the night

Ondeto

The Sun of the Trinity

Ondeto

Our soul's infinity

Outro

This is the testimony of Magero Asa Rateng

The scribe who saw the sun rise in the east

I witnessed the resurrection of the truth

I saw the tribes gathering at Kikongo

Africa rise

Your light is here

Ondeto lives

Forever lives
