Dinkas When I Close My Eyes - Against All Authority

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

Back to the market

Of endless profit

Impoverished in famine, set me free

A never ending cycle of slavery

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

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
