what are the lyrics in the loading screen/game over song

[Albert the Handsome (Not)]

When you start up a new game/get a game over this weird music plays with a woman chanting something in the background. What do the lyrics mean and what language is it?

It's Arabic.
And here's a copy-paste from YouTube comment about the lyrics:

it was weird when this song played for the first time because the lyrics
were a bit out of context, that wasn't the problem, the problem was that it was in Arabic specifically in the Egyptian dialect.
To clarify, I am Egyptian. I played the game after watching two or three videos about it.
It seemed like the perfect survival game:
- realism ✔
- Too many details ✔
- Situation (In the real world I would have been able to do this ) - Non-existent ✔

But when this song played, I felt a strange feeling because it did not fit in with the situation , I do not mean the music, the sound track is epic, but the words were out of context and had no specific meaning.

For anyone wondering hear what she is saying :

نبع الحياة (fountain of life - or - source of life)
نبع الحياة fountain of life
نبع الحياة fountain of life

ايه الثمن what is the (cost - or - price )
ايه الثمن what is the cost
ايه الثمن what is the cost

ايه الثمن يا زمن what is the cost , oh time (asking time itself )
يا زمن oh time
يا زمن oh time

نبع الحياة fountain of life
نبع الحياة fountain of life

So I guess this is supposed to refer to the zombies who are immortal but at a great cost?? Or maybe the player??

Who knows. One can only guess. It could be that Zach just added the lyrics because it sounded cool. Lol.

It does sound cool

Thought it was some native american noises the first time I heard it.

So is this game secretly funding the middle east or something? :p
