King's Skull
Early eighteen hundreds, there was a bloody fight
Scottish army and the Xhosas fighting for their lives
Hintsa, King of Xhosas, shot down by a Scot
His head was cut from torso - Africa had lost
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Find the two white ponies - find the two white donkeys
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Somewhere in the Highlands, that is where the skull lies
The hurricane spirit on empty TV screen
Telling Chief Ngaelica where the skull has been
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Waiting all these years for the bravest man
Return the skull of King Hintsa
A man that has no fears, whose attitude is “can”
Chief then flew to Scotland, in Europe far away
Looked for donkeys, looked for ponies, when someone said him “Hey”
Let's search inside this garden, a skull was seen in here
A yellow one, a hole on side - we found it, time to cheer
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Find the two white ponies - find the two white donkeys
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Somewhere in the Highlands, that is where the skull lies
Tribal remains were stolen, by people far up north
Studied and stored in museums, without a permit by their owner
Return the skull of King Hintsa
It's time to return all items to place where they belong
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Oh, it's time to see the day when Africa has won
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Find the two white ponies - find the two white donkeys
Return the skull of King Hintsa
Somewhere in the Highlands, that is where the skull lies
