I saw her walk in the middle of the night
Her eyes dead cold
A welfare case a couple babies by her side
Her skin both cracked and old
With eyes bloodshot and with trembling hands
Another junkie in despair
The stench of death penetrates my soul
It seems it's everywhere
A bum fight here and some bombings there
All the lives in pain
No more trees now it's all concrete
This was my domain
And I don't know how it got this far
But it seems there will be more
There's no escape from the raging horde
Stigmatized if you close the door
Honor – Where did you go
Valour – Where do you hide
Splendour – Time to reclaim you
Homeland – I hear you weep
Walk the streets all I see is grease
There's no self control
I look for pride but there's nothing there
I am proud but all alone
Voices shriek, rotten teeth they show
Aggression's in the air
The fear that keeps all our children home
It's a childhood so unfair
I contemplate in this horrifying night
What have we done
The demons smile as it vanished out of sight
Our culture's dead and gone
My heart goes out to the warriors dead
They're turning in their graves
The wars they fought, all the battle fronts
Was it all in vain…?
