Here it's never quiet
All the shouts every night
Screams of pain, screams of fright
Screams for mercy, to see mornings light
...
This river is more than just water
This river is in every building, every stone every mortar
This river is an emotion not to be summed up in words
Only to be felt by those who have seen the life it holds
...
The wet floor shines, amplifying the atmosphere
The cause of this light we pass as if it where never here
It's energy shines through rain, sun or fog
It keeps us safe, guides us better than a guide dog
...
Me to myself in this bustling city
The only place I can be truly happy
A city of many sides, calm or busy
A city of many atmospheres, alive or moody
...
I walk down this road all houses look the same
Filled with people who think life is one big game
Hidden in the country away from fame
Or any one who would say they were to blame
...
Bright white lights shine down
Over look this constant sound
Travellers floc, never mind their source
Neon light glows, off the bill boards
...
Lights flash by
One constant blur, a treat to the eye
The train stops, you step out to the light
The empty tube station, no sounds but that of the night
...
Rwandan Genocide
Here it's never quiet
All the shouts every night
Screams of pain, screams of fright
Screams for mercy, to see mornings light
To pardon them and to stop this fight
Do they listen to the cry's
No they they just stare into the victims eyes
And with the machetes let fly
At the border a mass of hurry
To get away from this torn up contry
Kids with no food, they don't have the luxury
Kids with no home, no ones living comfortably
There's loads of noise in the countryside
But the most definite are the mournful cry's
