In an iron collar they dragged me Yarely like a wretched ship my value faded out in the horizons My Brocken, bruised fingers picked food from their trash I became there donckey, And I lamented, My blood! My sanctuary! My sweet Africa! You have condemned me to rest and spend my nights in my own excretes You have striped me naked. And so, you have corrupted my innocent soul.
Beneath the echoes of my silence I hid I sobbed as I stood over my soul under the sod They made me a ****** Every night I nursed my pelvis, from the *** games they played on me And I grieved My blood! My people! My sweet Africa! You cursed your own You painted despair on the canvas of my heart And so, you took away my life.
My pain lived on, and did continuously spread like a cancer My soul they dejected. And piece by piece they ripped it apart I prayed to the wind and the thunders Liberate my soul! Break my shackles! Hear as I cry out My blood, my flesh my sweet Africa Your dignity wondered You devalued my life for a piece of garment So even in death I utter on echoes of grief.
