Resurrection Band - Afrikaans lyrics
[Resurrection Band - Afrikaans lyrics]
I hear gunfire, see the blood run
Feel the rage i see a black man
See a coloured man in a cage
The sweat of miners digging diamonds
Digging graves to feed the boss
Man, to feed his family, to feed his slaves
Men are cursing, women praying for release
But when a white man kills one
Of "them" no one sees
From Capetown to Pretoria, to Johannesburg
There is a crying of people
Dying that can be heard
I hear the gunfire, see the blood run
Smell the fear
You lock your minds up, shut the curtains
You close your ears
Forget the black man, neglect his baby
Ignore his hell
We need apartheid to keep the
Animal in his cell
You sweep the pavement, shine the buildings
Display the maid
You say "Republic", I say, "Blind
Man, it's a cage, "
God makes the colour
But the colour doesn't make you God
Oh, and in the judgement
He will remember the ones you've robbed
Without the Lord's love this
Injustice will prevail
Until Jesus is the only master we'll never
Break the bars of this jail
Feel the rage i see a black man
See a coloured man in a cage
The sweat of miners digging diamonds
Digging graves to feed the boss
Man, to feed his family, to feed his slaves
Men are cursing, women praying for release
But when a white man kills one
Of "them" no one sees
From Capetown to Pretoria, to Johannesburg
There is a crying of people
Dying that can be heard
I hear the gunfire, see the blood run
Smell the fear
You lock your minds up, shut the curtains
You close your ears
Forget the black man, neglect his baby
Ignore his hell
We need apartheid to keep the
Animal in his cell
You sweep the pavement, shine the buildings
Display the maid
You say "Republic", I say, "Blind
Man, it's a cage, "
God makes the colour
But the colour doesn't make you God
Oh, and in the judgement
He will remember the ones you've robbed
Without the Lord's love this
Injustice will prevail
Until Jesus is the only master we'll never
Break the bars of this jail
