Biafran National Anthem on saxophone | “Land of the Rising Sun“

Performed and produced by Julius Maduaka Lyrics: Land of the rising sun, we love and cherish, Beloved homeland of our brave heroes; We must defend our lives or we shall perish, We shall protect our hearths from all our foes; But if the price is death for all we hold dear, Then let us die without a shred of fear. Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation, Oh fatherland, this be our solemn pledge: Defending thee shall be a dedication. Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege; The waving standard which emboldens the free Shall always be our flag of liberty. We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal, And through the crucible unnscathed we’ll pass; When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal, We shall remember those who died in mass; Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong. Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall, Gu/de all our movements lest we go astray; Give us the strength to heed the humanist call: ’To give and not to count the cost’, each day; Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness, To make this clime a land of righteousness.
