Black clouds gathered above our heads this dawn
No sign or warning that we are on death row
The fields are trembling from iron heading our way
What curse fell upon us to witness such a day
Just give them death no walls for nests
Plunder and rape then burn the rest
No river flows to wash the shame
and no wind blows to clear the stench
Who is a foe and who's a friend?
who shoved this bullet in my head?
Is this a work from a man insane?
or are there more digging my grave?
There is no way it's heaven sent
only the mortal can do this to men
Twisted minds with deathful eyes
Bringing the horror to our land
No need for running our fate is sealed
We'll meet our maker and pay for his sin
Left nothing breathing but names on the stone
Will keep reminding what we died for
Motionless girls thrown on the dirt
with dresses ripped, spread open legs
What shoved its teeth in infants' throats?
what kind of beast came here to feast?
How come it's time for me to die?
Why is my head split into half?
Can I have some of my wine
Before I kiss this world goodbye?
There was no hope, there were no saints
The prayers never made it to the clouds
And in this time of need and doubt
Devil wept in vain while God averted his face
The chimney is smoking but no one's cooking
The candle's burning but no one's reading
The baby's crying but no one's listening
The clock is swinging (ticking) it keeps on swinging
Mother I'm lying down by our kin’s infertile slope
My blood is pouring, our trees will now get to grow
Your man, your father, your son is laying on the rocks
Go wear those blacks now, protect my carcass from the crows
For I am gone but I ain't lost
