Hearts in Darkness (11.12.08)

I say it's ours.
I say it's ours,
Although it is not mine.
We lead the way,
We lead the way;
Occidental designs.

No glittering gold,
Just littering gold,
Within the deathly mine.
A diamond deal.
A diamond deal.
Cash for blood is fine.

A kingdom fell.
A kingdom fell.
A kingdom falsely claimed.
A nation falls.
A nation falls,
Its people concentrically
Maimed.

The war is ours.
The war is ours.
Though we don't partake.
We set it off.
We set it off.
And now they rape the raped.

They use our force.
They use our force;
Neglect all mother tongue.
We cast a shadow,
Cast a shadow,
Made this hell-hole in the sun.

And we stand by.
And we stand by.
Cruelly compound all misery.
The Congo - raped,
Again. Again.
Midst poverty. Tragedy. History.
