Essence - Children of Rwanda lyrics

One hundred days of aggression
Three months in the absence of light
Cruelty and violence as obsessions
A conflict causing a millions of crimes
A land torn into pieces united by hate
Let the blood spill and be
Flowing in the streets
Creating a river of guilt
Leading the nation into war against it's own
Demanding everyone to search and kill
All ist the enemy - It is as simple as this
Now the world is mad
Hunger - terror - blind corner of the eye
Executing the most dreadful -
Genocide of our time
Children of Rwanda left to die
One million bodies piled high
Rise from the ashes and obey the call
An empire stands and an empire falls
Ashes to ashes - in a civilized world
Blood for blood - spilled as it turns
Not a day passes by
Without the innocent getting
Violated for some blood-dripping cash
Nothing is forbidden in the essence of a lie
Eyes of glass see all - you can't hide now
Sixteen years have passed but
I will never forget
The crimes they did - the lives they took
The day you let them
Take away my son - kill my loved ones
Shatter all my life
A broken heart drained for life
A broken heart drained for blood
Empty words when you said that
Nothing could be done
Children of Rwanda left to die
One million bodies piled high
Rise from the ashes and obey the call
An empire stands and an empire falls
Ashes to ashes - in a civilized world
Blood for blood - spilled as it turns
Not a day passes by
Without the innocent getting
Violated for some blood-dripping cash
Darkness in my soul leaves my body cold
I can't see why I shouldn't commit suicide
Ashes to ashes - in a civilized world
Blood for blood - spilled as it turns
Not a day passes by
Without the innocent getting
Violated for some blood-dripping cash
