Lyrics

Defeat burns slowly
In the darkest soul
How many moons
Til war resumed

(Emotive)
When their time was right
They relished revenge (alt: an orgy of death - see which works best)
cruellest JackBoot
Crushing Infant breath

Pre chorus
I still hear the screams
On the killing fields
Through a deadly rain

I still hear the screams
On the killing fields
Through a deadly rain

So much pain
so much pain revealed
So much pain
so much pain revealed

Chorus
Today it’s us
But Tomorrow
it will be you
Today it’s us
But Tomorrow it will be you
League of Nations ..justice justice justice
Take care what you do..what will you do
I pray to God..listen listen listen
This won’t come back on you ..hear our tale.
Today it’s us ..Ethiopia
But Tomorrow
Today it’s us ..Ethiopia


V2
The Pledge of peace was fake
Corruption and lies
Sincere hand of friendship
Callously pushed aside 

Cast into exile
Violence from Rome
Murdering our people
Burning down their homes

(Quieter)
The Wounds are so fresh in my skin
Show happened that day
The Wounds are so fresh in my skin
Show happened that day
Tears flow tears flow
for my people
Tears flow
tears flowfor my people

Chorus
Today it’s us
But Tomorrow
it will be you
Today it’s us
But Tomorrow it will be you
League of Nations ..justice justice justice
Take care what you do..what will you do
I pray to God..listen listen listen
This won’t come back on you ..hear our tale.

Bridge (dub)
World leaders you all agreed
To Collective security
International morality
Show some integrity

Chorus
Today it’s us
But Tomorrow ..
Today it’s us
But Tomorrow..

Coda
In the name of god peace will surely reign
In the name of god peace will surely reign
In the name of god peace will surely reign
In the name of god peace will surely reign
