NIGHT

Taken in the still of the night

Taken from our homes

Surrounded here in darkness

Where are we to go

Plagued by fear I'm so afraid

Will this lead us to our grave

Is this a dream

Why can't I wake

The night carries us on

To where we don't know

Insanity screams out

From the old lady

Of flames of disaster

Of fire to burn our souls

Only if we had known

The truth that she told

I watched my friends die

I heard my mother cry

Too late, we had been had

Too late, it's time to die

They took our children

They burned us alive

They took my sister

They took me alive

Like a scream that breaks the silence

Like the cold stare of the fear

Break the peace of the innocent

Shadow of death is near

No more tears to cry

I've grown oh so weak

I can hear all the screams of

All the ones that died in vain

They rape our young

They whip my spine

They beat us down

They take our peace of mind

They line us up

They bring us down

Can we be saved

How long can we remain

Is there hope for our race

Can we be saved
