Story of Century
Story of Century
Of how our fathers lived in penury
And the powers promoted prejudice
They came with promises of paradise
They turned themselves into merchandise
Selling our own like stacks of rice
Wives and daughters raped to coma
While the men kept in chains by the corner
It was a sad story of the centuries
Our hearts still bleed from the injury
The chains caged our warrior's fury
And the jail sentence by the crook jury
Killed, butchered and never sorry
Tied in chains and piled in lorry
Ferried away to the land filled with gory
This is our story
Story of the century
