verse1 night falls like the silence over sudan where children run like the blood on the sand and i can taste it like the dust that chokes this land a government sponsored slavery plan lined up like cattle at an auction deprived of everything that you and i have ever known all alone wearing only the dreams of their far away home chorus back to the market of endless profit impoverished in famine set me free a never ending cycle of slavery verse 2 a cowardly silence plagues our land where children are stolen from the dinka clan and i can taste smokescreen that chokes this land a government sponsored slavery plan branded like cattle at an auction deprived of everything that you and i ve ever known all alone wearing only the dreams of their far away home chorus back to the market of endless profit impoverished in famine set me free a never ending cycle of slavery i just want to close my eyes i don t want to agonize over people i don t know i was asleep until you woke me up and now i see thee faces of these kids in foreign places when i close my eyes
