Memories of you are still just as vivid

Makes me wonder if the civil war was just yesterday 

But of course, so long the past is concerned 

There is no end .

End to this subtle torture 

Hanging like a heavy cloud over my head 

Consistently reminding me of your mighty deeds 

Your pronounced love for us 

How unfair can life be ? 

Rivers fall down my eyes 

Some nights I cry a sea 

Recall that I was there to see 

See your innocent blood mix with sand 

You and your men weren't soldiers 

You were predecessors and Fathers 

You were heros and kings 

But nothing hurts more than to witness your seeds 

Disregard your priceless sacrifice.
