The Last Domino
Die Stem
Die Kaplyn - Bos van Blerk
between bushes and trees
between borders we all wait for tomorrow
but at 18 we were all lost
how can we understand?
And who weighs our lives
God only knows why we are scared
because at 18 we all just wanted to live
and then just like that your life was over
are you calling for me?
are you calling me back to the cut-line (ie. border) my friend?
through the years the world has turned
when we were young we wouldn't have guessed
are you searching for me?
are you searching for me in the dust and your blood?
you said you heard God calling you
then it was all over
after all these years
long lost ....(something which I cannot make out) our deeds
Only soldiers live with the damage of (caused by) borders
how can (will) we understand?
because that bush swallows our tracks
In the dark bush brothers were born
in the dark together we pray for a tomorrow
and then just like that your life was over
are you calling for me?
are you calling me back to the cut-line (ie. border) my friend?
through the years the world has turned
when we were young we wouldn't have guessed
where are you now?
is your name displayed up on those walls?
you were never forgotten and nobody ever will
we'll write about your life and what you saw
and by those walls
I stand for hours
but wheres your name now my friend?
cant they understand?
you soldiers were lost
without reason they carry the blame?
are you calling for me?
are you calling me back to the cut-line my friend?
through the years the world has turned
