Zululand (Words and Music by Nibs van der Spuy)
Nibs van der Spuy - acoustic guitar, vocals
Mark Tucker - percussion
I'm standing in a place
of curses and of grace
where rivers red as wine
run through the countryside
A kingdom of the brave
with a brothers blood you paid
may the angels keep you safe
under stars of heaven's gate
Zululand please keep the faith
When you walk in paths of kings
with shipwrecks in between
and the tears of heaven's bride
flows from the maiden's eyes
Can I sleep upon your floor
In your hut of mud and straw
cause I fear these southern storms
on my way back to the shore
Zululand my heart you call
A kingdom for the brave
with a brothers blood you paid
may the angels keep you safe
under stars of heaven's gate
Zululand please keep the faith
