The flag has become too heavy for us to carry
what's the color again? my feel couldn't tell the texture it carries
broken dreams of an African mind
our dreams were higher than the mountain
pieces of it fallen like the sand that make up the mountain

our guns now bleed because we forgot how to shoot
our camouflage no longer disguise us
nor our boots no longer match us
our backpacks are down because our backs couldn't carry them

Oh fallen soldiers !!!!

You have forgotten what war feels like
raging sound were meant to be your soundtrack
dried blood were meant to be your right chest badge
oh!
Fallen soldier !!!!
