Kra-coon-ka-ka-ka

by DrealD

Nothing makes a difference now; The Dawn is broken The birds are chipping The light is brighten The babes are laughing Kra-coon-ka-ka-ka I still sob and whimper I still stagger to refuge My heart breaks into smithereens even now more than that night. My eyes filled and swollen like the ocean breezing down like dew. Distressed and re-pressed Scrambling out of confusion Overwhelmed by emotions The lightening comes cracking I feel my heart jumping Kra-coon-ka-ka-ka It's settled now. I mean the verdict has been served. Finally there is a resolution. A number of us will carry the shame, Life will sometimes flash the fame, Nothing will ever remain the same, Cuz players don't change the rules of the game, We are here today, we accept the pain. But the power that made it so won't take the blame. Kra-coon-ka-ka-ka The sound of violence The sound of hatred The sound of struggle The sound of terror The sound of blood The sound of tears The sound of loss The sound of Us The sound of defeat Kra-coon-ka-ka-ka Please we have a story Not to win a glory Or to take a sorry But we must tell our history. That one night when all fade away That one night when all stayed awake That one night when all tried to race That one night that changed the pace There was nothing to stake again, all was taken away Oh! I promise to stop the reminiscing Not again will I recount the moment. But the sound forever remain in the subconscious Kra-coon-ka-ka-ka Oh! I hate that sound!!!
