Murdered in Africa

A beautiful lake
Its grandeur supreme
Full of turquoise and blue
To sit there and dream

Would draw such eternal
Thoughts to the fore
And what do we see in the middle
Just gore

A majestic elephant
Cut down to size
Murdered in warm blood
By those poacher guys
And left in the lake
Bleeding like hell
Its ivory torn off
So they can sell

And clearly all bloodied
Loaded in a truck
And driven to a port
They don’t give a fuck
For anyone really
Just pay off the men
Who have sold their souls
And will do it again

This is corruption
On a grand scale
Our animals slaughtered
A really dark trail
Of dirt filth and agony
Leading away
From Africa causing a shitstorm
Today

A great deal for letting
These poachers get free
For they come back to do it
Again naturally
More and more elephants
Stolen away
Who scream to the heavens
The dirge of the day

Its no good regretting
Its simply no good
There are no controls now
Be misunderstood
Be criminal let them just take
It away
Fill up their trucks
Hold you hand out
They will pay

Africa land of the shit storm brigade
Thieves without honour
Just join the parade
You murder dismember and walk down the street
The customs the police force
Will probably greet

You, if you give them a few dollar bills
What chance have the iconic animals

Chills
Run down my spine
I am sick with it all
The shit that is Africa
Always on call

All the big animals
All the big 5
With the vile filthy
Hunters
There will be none left alive
Thats coming soon
To a country near you
Lions Rhino’s Elephants
Listen its true
