The Night That Never Die
The night that never die
I wanted to write a love song
But I remember the unforgettable night
The dark long night of the youth
In end SARS protest
The night of sorrows and agony
The night of cries and lament
The deep night of no freedom
So many started this night
Not all saw the day
I told you I wanted to write a love song
But I can't forget a night filled with the
Rains of bullets and guns
With men on vegetable kaki jacket
This night was a horror
This night was a night mere
Simply because we protested against
Police brutality called SARS in Lagos Nigeria
The night that never die
I wanted to write a love song
Now I turn my motivation into elevation
I just can't forget the innocent gone so soon
Now I draw words like the Shakespeare
Displaying the power of the pen
And telling the realities of sorrows and agony
Dont blame me but feel my soul
Remember I told you
I wanted to write a love song
Now am here adoring the heros of my time
Yes may the souls of the ones we lost
In this long dark night
Rest in peace
You still live on in my heart
I love your spirit
It is the source why my pen bleed again
No wonder now I can't write a love song
Cos truly and honestly it is difficult to let go
The night that never die
Tribute to the souls we lost
At end SARS protest in Nigeria
End police brutality in Africa
