[i - O'er the Ramparts]

all throughout this place i live
i hear them cry n' scream
i cannot shake them from my mind
like a daze in last nights dream

the madness of religious trial
and their pain I feel my own
on deathbed lain in ashen fire
for the sake of oneman's throne

from Kosovo to the Great Ghetto
in fear i feel them drowning
from beautiful to the graven hole
a deep old sickness now is crowning

and I can see them when I close my eyes
crashing spinning through my mind
a dizziness of uprooted lives
what human kind does to human kind...

i cannot close my eyes to this
i cannot turn away
i am not a robot
i am not afraid

 

Somewhere between January and Mid May, 1999
