Lineage of Warriors

A deep pink color tinged with orange like that of a flamingo 
walking with our feet in shallow water 
As I gazed upon the sunlight, dazed and bewildered 
Squeezing the life out of us we believed them just like Adam and Eve 
were cruelty taking over like cancer 
Asking us to put on a mask and loose who we are 
Manipulating our psycho 
Playing tricks on us 
Terrorising our souls 
Hijacking our thoughts
Waving the flag singing the national anthem but  they kept on firing the  chili bullets mixed with ginger, cumin and oregano 
They mow down a number of lives 
Seeing the blood of my brothers and sisters smeared to my face 
The trait of extreme cruelty 
What a brutal barbarous savage act 
The color of our flag painted with the blood of innocent people 
They have being treated in a cruel and savage manner 
My mind is still on replay trying to find answers 
We are  in agony of hopeless grief 
We're griped by fear of failure and rejection 

20.10.20 is the dressing code 
Venue Lekkitollgate
As they danced and rejoice by sipping the blood of young Nigerians
What they asked for was just a new Nigeria 
The mistakes of our past will not hold us 
Surrounded by demons on our left and angels on our right 
You can't mute us 
We're on a rescue mission to save our fatherland
