Soweto Soul

Lyrics

There's a red sunset in the African sky As time runs out on the apartheid lie From the township ghetto, hear the jungle drum There's a fear in the city when the darkness comes An Aryan race in a conquered land With a fascist face and a steel hard hand Deaf ear turned to the tortured cry See no evil with a hate blind eye Everyone prays on Soweto day A police action and a state disgrace In a black man's world with a white man's facе A Soweto soul A Soweto soul Soweto soul A Sowеto soul Somehow, someday, something breaks down a wall Built to lock the truth away You're reaping what you've sown, and it's late in the season The harvest is your judgement day And everyone prays on Soweto day The whole world's watching every move you make While the vultures and the scavengers wait to take your Soweto soul It's Soweto soul Soweto soul You got young men screaming for blood and hate With the fury of a people that just won't wait You've got barbed wire strung around your heart like fence You're torn in two, while you stand against your soul Soweto soul Your Soweto soul There's a red sunset in the African sky As time runs out on the apartheid lie Everyone prays on Soweto day The fear inside says your time has come Is there a heartbeat left behind your soldier's gun Soweto soul It's Soweto soul Soweto soul It's Soweto soul Soweto soul It's Soweto soul Soweto soul It's Soweto soul Soweto soul It's Soweto soul Soweto soul It's Soweto soul Soweto soul
