Burkina Faso

I travelled up north, to Burkina Faso
Down there I met my brethren from long, long ago
And he tried to tell me things I really wanted to know
But my mind was filled with mess-distress and pestilence, that's how it goes
Funny how your mind can make you seek your brother
Man how my mind was rich, with pride and doubt
Know I read in Revelations one day (...)
I'm still here crying
Cause I, never forget way that I lost my brother
No I never forget the day that my brothers lost their fathers
Never forget the way how I cried like mother when she lost me the same way
In this world there's hell to pay
I'm not even sure when oh this pestilence will end
I travelled up north, to alleviate my soul
Funny how your brain slips and trips when you're
So far from home
But you're still in the same world
You should really try and get to know
A mind fought with mess-distress and depression
Only grows old
Funny how your mind can make you seek your brother
Man how my mind was rich, with pride and doubt
Know I read in Revelations one day (...)
I'm still here crying
Cause I, never forget way that I lost my brother
No I never forget the day that my brothers lost their fathers
Never forget the way how I cried like mother when she lost me the same way
In this world there's hell to pay
I'm not even sure when oh this pestilence will end
Caught in the trenches of this life
There's an emptiness that brings light to all of those who got nothing
Caught in the trenches of this life
There's an emptiness that brings light to all of those who've lost everything
Funny how your mind can make you seek your brother
Man how my mind was rich, with pride and doubt
Know I read in Revelations one day (...)
I'm still here crying
Cause I, never forget way that I lost my brother
No I never forget the day that my brothers lost their fathers
Never forget the way how I cried like mother when she lost me the same way
In this world there's hell to pay
I'm not even sure when oh this pestilence will end
End
