Africa's madness

Cry cry the heart of the African child

Echo the screams of the fires

Trample the hope of freedom

Kill the innocent, fear the tyrant

Cry cry the heart of the African child

Lies become a disastrous cure

"Kill the boer" becomes a haunted famine

Ivory bleeds as the night darkens angrily

Cry cry the heart of the African child

Enslaved forever within circumstances

Bound by promises with no deliverance

Poverty eats away, as the rich sees only ignorance

Cry cry the heart of the African child

All colours united, yet stained with blood

The silent war which the world chooses to ignore

Africa is bleeding, the world is blind...
