Let me tell you the story of
the sun
Let me tell you how it lost
its light
And how we now live in
this night.
Let me tell you the story of
our sons
The ones we lost to wars
and fight.
It happened in our time
We saw it right before our
eyes
Justice made naked in the
marketplace
Corruption looked us in the
face
And we watched with silent
face
As our kingdom became a
jungle.
It happened in our days
Our leaders changed their
ways
They gave us bags of grain
And we exchanged our
ballot for pain
We were blinded with bribe
And in our blindness, the
sun died.
My son, count me among
them
Count me amount the ones
who killed this place
I declare myself guilty this
day
Count me among the silent
dodos
Count me along the
cowards that refused to die
Among those who refused
to fight evil
It happened in our time
I watched as the truth was
led to the gallows
I watched as our ladies
walked the streets with
bare chests
I watched as our money
went into private chests
Count me among them, my
son
Among those who sent the
sun to the gallows.
