DARFUR (Jesus Wept)

Here it is. I made my final tweaks on the finished product (correcting some rhythmic dissonace in the final guitar bridge, levelling the backing vocals).

Darfur (Jesus Wept).

Here are the words.

DARFUR (Jesus Wept)

(intro)

Half a million dead in Darfur, in the Sudan.

100 times the innocents who died on 9/11.

Children. Women. Men. Genocide.

Wake up and see.

Wake up and see.

Wake up and see why

Jesus wept.

(main)

The rains didn't come

the sounds of the drums

the death knell kept.

Jesus wept.

Over the burning sands

the killing commands

of the warlords swept.

Jesus wept.

It should be true

that the evils evil men do

we cannot accept.

Jesus wept.

The slaughter rained on

as in the blistering dawn

the sun, the horizon, leapt.

Jesus wept.

Half a million women and children and sons and daughters

fall to the hate, their fate as wormfood for the slaughters.

Since when are 100 black babies worth less than one white businessman

in the eyes and lies of people who claim to be, to see, without sin?

Wake up and see.

Wake up and see.

Wake up and see why

Jesus wept.
