On this day, All the trees in Rhodesia are aflame As the eyes of the griever deflowers of aching replete
And the lions Overflowing with vengeance for the pines Not occupation but a sentence, and in time We're all be faking retreat
Have you gotten ready yet Is faith corroded with neglect Can we ever have a [?]
At least a part of the sun's yolk Is rising like the rippling smoke On the oceans and the swirls
And it will shame us now And it will shame us still And it will shame us now And it will shame us still
What a hollow promise From hollow men What a shallow grave For shallow men You're the boar that crawls the earth The leopard that teaches to run You're the crocodile that eats the sun
So we walk on (So we walk on) Through and beyond (so we walk on the failures of men) The failures of men (the failures of men) And we walk (there's a void) There's a void at the center (at the center) of everything
And it will shame this now And it will shame us still And it will shame us now And it will shame us still
And it will shame us now And it will shame us still (It was wrong) And it will shame us now And it will shame us still (I was wrong) And it will shame us now And it will shame us still (It was wrong) And it will shame us now And it will shame us still (I was wrong)
And it will shame us now (It was wrong) And it will shame us still (I was wrong) And it will shame us now (It was wrong) And it will shame us still (I was wrong) And it will shame us now (I was wrong come here) And it will shame us still (I was wrong come here) And it will shame us now (I was wrong come here) And it will shame us still (I was wrong come here)
