The Ballad of the Red Flame Lily |
| On this day all the trees in Rhodesia are aflame |
| As the eyes of the griever |
| With flowers of aching replete |
| And my mind’s overflowing with vengeance |
| For to pine is not an occupation but a sentence |
| And in time we will all be faking retrat |
| Have you got rid of it yet? |
| This faith corroded with neglect |
| Can we ever hide the hurt? |
| At least at night the harvest sun’s yoke |
| Is rising like rebel smoke |
| Beyond the oceans in swirls |
| And it will shame us now |
| And it will shame us still |
| It was wrong to come here |
| I was wrong to come here |
| What a hollow promise from hollow men |
| What a shallow grave for shallow men |
| You’re the bull that paws the earth |
| The leopard that teaches to run |
| You’re the crocodile that eats the sun |
| So we walk on through and beyond the failures of men |
| And we know there’s a void at the centre of everything |
