Love and Pain Secret hell
Scars that tell
They tell the untold
of all you fail to unfold
I gave you my trust
I won't do that again
It didn't mean as much
as your precious culture gems
The prize of your eyes
was worth a thousand lies
What is the price of betrayal?
Not as high as Niger Delta skies
I promised my world
You failed to see its worth
Your life was more important
on the other side of Earth
Foreign land, your son lives
yet I lay dying a slow, painful death
An unequal exchange
that took my very breath
Tell me how do I erase
this testament of hell I plead?
To know I chased your love
but you would not fight for me
Ascendant mother claim your part
His allegiance 'tis of thee
You are the crypt of my heart
AFRICA - THE DEATH OF ME!
