UNDER THE COVER OF DARKNESS

Cry! Cry! My beloved country

A nation dripping blood from all corners of its cities

The future of her budding generation now deposited in the mortuary

All done under the cover of darkness

Cry! Cry! my beloved country

Where lies the loyalty to country

Deception and Delusion in its entirety

As we ask who ordered this calamity

All done under the cover of darkness

Cry! Cry! my beloved country

As authorities tow the path of dishonesty

To perpetuate their disloyalty

And the truth is hid under the cover of darkness

Cry! Cry! my beloved country

The looters saw the opportunity

To show their superiority

Executing judgment against the tyranny

Under the cover of darkness

Cry! Cry! my beloved country

Hope is never buried in the cemetery

A nation rising out of the ashes

Singing victory in symphony

From under the cover of darkness
