The Wretched of The Earth Lyrics

(In Northern Uganda, the cult-like, notoriously brutal rebel group "Lord's Resistance Army" under the leadership of Joseph Kony is said to have abducted more than 20.000 children.
The children were recruited as rebels and forced to commit unimaginably atrocious crimes like rape, torture and mutilation.
The situation in the region has often been called "One of the world's worst humanitarian disasters".
To restore peace and put an end to the killings, many of the leaders and traumatized soldiers have been granted amnesty).

Abducted to the thousands.
Carried off to dust in brightest day.
Nurtured with illiteracy, besieged by rage.
Gradual infanticide, internally displaced.

Shadows of souls.
Children of ghosts.
They make you murder your own.
They teach you to kill, kill yourself.

Programmed to annihilate, drugged to kill.
Brainwashed to retaliate, no mercy, no regret.
The Wretched of the Earth.

The earth!

Innocent, guilty lives coffined in caskets of glass.

Dwelling in the underworld of guilt.
Numbed below conscience.
With every shot you tear your souls apart.
Erase the last chance of healing.

With every shot you tear your souls apart.
Erase the last chance of healing.

Shadows of souls.
Children of ghosts.
They make you murder your own.
They teach you to kill, kill yourself.

Programmed to annihilate, drugged to kill.
Brainwashed to retaliate, no mercy, no regret.
The Wretched of the Earth.

Innocent, guilty lives coffined in caskets of glass.
The Wretched of the Earth.
