Koos Kombuis - African Skyline lyrics

Your rating:

There's a warrior searching for lines in the sand

But the footprints of time have erased

All the tracks from the land



There's a woman who's waiting by the side of a shack

With paint on her face and the sun on her back

She's dreaming of friendship, she's hoping for love

But suffering, hunger and black is all she understands



African skyline

African skyline



There's a lioness standing, she's sniffing the air

She's afraid that a fire is raging somewhere on the 

plain

She's afraid that the soldiers with guns will come back 

again



No one can remember who started this war

Few comprehend whatever they died for

The guerrillas are sponsored by men with an appetite 

for pain

All they desire is the blood of the slain



It's a struggle for unlawful profits and gain



African skyline

African skyline



Your leaders are lying

Your children are dying



African skyline



The trails of the fighters are stretching like scars

As the screams of their victims reach up to the stars

There's nowhere to hide, there's no blanket to warm you

No peace from the village, no eyes of the storm

You can run, you can flee

You can stumble and fall, or you can fight



The cease fire will end with a slaughter by dawn's 

early light



African skyline

African skyline



Your leaders are lying

Your children are dying

Your hunters are shooting

Your tsotsis are looting



African skyline

African skyline

African skyline
