I heard the high pitched keening   A sound of pain and fear   Someone unseen crying out   A mourning call of loss       I heard the cries past all hope   Which sound through the night   Screams beyond your belief   Chilled my blood to ice       Refrain:   Thirty years of fear and pain   Driven away from my own nation   Finally the odds have changed   Time has come for condemnation   Wait for me, I will return   So very soon you will burn   Now, where your end is near   How does it feel to live in fear?       I saw them badly injured   All laid out on stretchers   A lot of bloody bandages   Wrapped around their bodies       I saw the refugees   Without hope or without relief   They were chased and hunted   Looking lost and shell-shocked
