Soweto Soul

There's a red sunset in the African sky
As time runs out on the apartheid lie
From the township ghetto, hear the jungle drum
There's a fear in the city when the darkness comes

An Aryan race in a conquered land
With a fascist face and a steel hard hand
Deaf ear turned to the tortured cry
See no evil with a hate blind eye
Everyone prays on Soweto day

A police action and a state disgrace
In a black man's world with a white man's facе

A Soweto soul
A Soweto soul
Soweto soul
A Sowеto soul

Somehow, someday, something breaks down a wall
Built to lock the truth away
You're reaping what you've sown, and it's late in the season
The harvest is your judgement day
And everyone prays on Soweto day

The whole world's watching every move you make
While the vultures and the scavengers wait to take your

Soweto soul
It's Soweto soul
Soweto soul

You got young men screaming for blood and hate
With the fury of a people that just won't wait
You've got barbed wire strung around your heart like fence
You're torn in two, while you stand against your soul

Soweto soul
Your Soweto soul

There's a red sunset in the African sky
As time runs out on the apartheid lie
Everyone prays on Soweto day

The fear inside says your time has come
Is there a heartbeat left behind your soldier's gun

Soweto soul
It's Soweto soul
Soweto soul
It's Soweto soul
Soweto soul
It's Soweto soul
Soweto soul
It's Soweto soul
Soweto soul
It's Soweto soul
Soweto soul
It's Soweto soul
Soweto soul
