Rest In Peace Mphezeni IV

Rest In Peace Mphezeni IV
A song made by Gerald favour
Eish, the king has gone
Mphezeni IV, we mourn
Chief Mphezeni the fourth, they called your name
Ngoni royalty, you wore the crown with no shame
At UTH Lusaka, you took your final breath
Zambia weeps tonight, the kingdom mourns your death
You led with wisdom, guided with your hand
From the ancestors you came, now you join them in that land
Your legacy lives on in every Ngoni heart
The king has fallen, but your spirit won't depart
Rest in peace, Mphezeni IV
Your soul flies high, we can't see you no more
The throne is empty but your name remains
Forever in our hearts, eternal your reign
Sho, the king has gone home
They say a king never dies, he just ascends
To watch over his people until the very end
You gave us strength, you showed us how to stand
Now the ancestors welcome you with open hands
Lusaka cries, the whole nation feels the pain
But in the rain, we'll remember your name
Mphezeni IV, your story won't fade
In the book of kings, your chapter's been made
Rest in peace, Mphezeni IV
Your soul flies high, we can't see you no more
The throne is empty but your name remains
Forever in our hearts, eternal your reign
Yebo, may your soul rest in eternal peace
The king has gone, but the legacy won't cease
Mphezeni IV, forever we remember
