lyrics

One dead eye stares at the sky | the other drowns in the river that rushes by | the innards leak | the reptiles eat | a banquet for the dinosaurs in the blazing heat | a mammoth husk with absent tusks | I assert the pity | the man seems brusque | a common pest to the native rest | destroyer of the domestic crop | I wonder what seems best

Mimi kuimba kwa wewe Tembo

The morning mists shroud these altruists | a staggering intelligence clearly exists | concrete skin a shield from sin | still perforates and terminates the soul within when man steps in | so I aim this tune straight at you to indemnify and apologise for the dreadful truth | silent now but we remain loud | kupumzika kwa amani | it’ll cease somehow
