Speakers whose mouth refuse to speak
Riding in the land the gods cursed
Cutting our mistakes to live short
Inside the triangle that cuts corners

Read the laws for our understanding
Move out movements to unfold facts
Our destinies have been thrown to the dirts
Forcing our laughter to die with the sun at noon

Shout for confessions are already made
Humans begin to live lives ready made
Visions of our forefathers are becoming vivid
Inside the trust were Abraham refuse to trade

We refuse to be cheated at the eleventh hour
Since our faces changed to blue at night lights
The stony faces of our brothers around –
Intimidated us and made us afraid!
