They came to us for a reconciliation
They said they were ready to make amends
Truthful and honest they claimed
Men of valour who fought with pride

Never bowed their heads to defeat
Bare we lay our fate in their hands
We became impoverished for their wealth
Ruined our generations for the souls of their unborn

Fragile promises we thought were voices of the nightingale
Empty they left our coast
Wrecked our harvest like plague
Left behind their faeces to feast on

Men of destruction they are
They took away our pride
Leaving us with prejudice
Hatred hot to waste generations

Generations who bore no witness to the detest they held
Loathed by our own brothers
Pain they gave us for love showed
Love reciprocated with envy

Envy for our green fields
Fields toiled day and night in the scourging sun
Naked they left us
For death wished upon us left us sour

Bitter we are
Living in anguish
For a hopeful and dreadful tomorrow
