Martyr
Down in deep dark Rwanda you will see
my martyred soul staring you in the face
will you be my savior or will you flee
I call you for help and you say just be
you tell me to wait and stay in my place
down in deep dark Rwanda you will see
why don't you come and at least set me free
my children will stay and keep their own pace
will you be my savior or will you flee
my best friend went on her own killing spree
all I could see was her agonized face
down in deep dark Rwanda you will see
I stood like a petrified dark black tree
stuck in an never ending deep dark haze
will you be my savior or will you flee
all I can offer is a humble plea
please come and stop this never ending chase
will you be my savior or will you flee
down in deep dark Rwanda you will see
