Soft,
humming

vocals)
Ooh,
ooh...
October
shadows
on
the
cold
asphalt,
We
sang
the
anthem
as
the
night
fell
down.
A
quiet
moment
where
the
heartbeat
stopped,
And
silence
echoes
over
Lekki
town.
The
flags
were
waving
in
the
evening
breeze,
Voices
lifted
up
for
peace
and
right.
Young
hearts
dreaming
of
a
place
to
breathe,
Before
the
darkness
swallowed
up
the
light.
Oh,
the
tears
of
mothers
falling
like
the
rain,
A
heavy
burden
that
we
carry
still,
The
grief
that
settled
in
the
soul
of
the
land,
A
wound
that
never
heals
upon
the
hill.
We
remember,
yeah,
we
hold
the
line,
Even
when
the
sun
don't
wanna
shine.
We
see
the
faces
in
the
flickering
glow,
Stories
untold
in
the
streets
of
the
ends.
From
Lagos
city
to
the
London
flow,
We
light
a
candle
for
our
fallen
friends.
Big
man
ting,
we
stood
for
what
was
true,
No
weapon
formed
could
break
the
spirit
thin.
The
sky
turned
grey,
the
ocean
turned
to
blue,
But
hope
is
burning
underneath
the
skin.
Oh,
the
tears
of
mothers
falling
like
the
rain,
A
heavy
burden
that
we
carry
still,
The
grief
that
settled
in
the
soul
of
the
land,
A
wound
that
never
heals
upon
the
hill.
We
remember,
yeah,
we
hold
the
line,
Even
when
the
sun
don't
wanna
shine. (
Slow,
atmospheric
synth
pads)
Low
it,
the
pain
is
deep,
But
the
memory
is
something
that
we
keep.
It’
s
a
long
ting,
a
heavy
price
to
pay,
But
we
carry
the
light
of
a
brighter
day.
Yeah,
we
still
standing,
rrr,
Even
through
the
scars
that
leave
us
marring.
So
when
the
stars
align
above
the
gate,
We
whisper
names
into
the
midnight
air.
It’
s
not
just
history,
it’
s
not
just
fate,
It’
s
every
prayer
that
we
offer
there.
Still
rising,
fam,
through
the
darkest
night,
Protecting
every
soul
that
sought
the
light.
Oh,
the
tears
of
mothers
falling
like
the
rain,
A
heavy
burden
that
we
carry
still,
The
grief
that
settled
in
the
soul
of
the
land,
A
wound
that
never
heals
upon
the
hill.
We
remember,
yeah,
we
hold
the
line,
Even
when
the
sun
don't
wanna
shine.
Ooh,
ooh...
Lekki
shadows
fading
in
the
dawn.
We
remember,
we
hold
on.
Still. (
Fades
to
silence)
