The Gunmen and the Long Night
the gunmen and the long night
peacefully the innocent
lay to sleep at night
never they realized
how long the night would be
cos usually they sleep
with peace till the down
of a new morning
the gunmen and the long night
peacefully the innocent
lay to sleep at night
it was a peaceful night
till the gunmen invaded our
streets
the night was quite
while we sleep in peace
the sudden gunshot
the sudden noise
invaded our peaceful night
what a night a long night
the gunmen and the long night
peacefully the innocent
lay to sleep at night
yet the gunmen are
already against our usual
peaceful night
cos they bleed horror
to our home breaking down
our doors
pointing their iron guns
to our peaceful heads
while they rob us from
all our valuable properties
never did we expect a horror
in our peaceful home
what a night
what a long night
the gunmen and the long night
peacefully the innocent
lay to sleep at night
not knowing the gunmen
are about to be on their usual
business at night on our homes
is sad despite the security service
in our cities still
the rat can always find the holes
to our peaceful doors
we never had an intensive
intimidation before like that of
the gunmen and the long night
