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
