Dark Night
A dark night hover around my country,
The night was indeed dark,
A night marked with blood,
A night we can’t forget,

A night spilled with blood,
Blood of innocent Nigerians,
Marching in peace on this dark night,
Raising their beloved flag with honour,

Night has murdered sleep,
The dark night has stolen lives,
Our land is soaked with blood,
The fertile land breeds blood,

I can’t hold my tears from rolling,
My heart bleeds with pain,
Is shedding of blood the answer?
Does life mean anything to you my beloved country?
