God and His priests and His kings
All were waiting
All will wait
As they go over
Mmm, held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing
As they dance over and over
Over
Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely
Yours as we go over
Sing for the lion and kondoo, mwana-kondoo
Their hearts are hunting
Still hearts hold ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and His priests and His kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the cold
Ooooooh, ooooooh
What wewe are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What wewe are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What wewe are given
Can't be forgotten
Cold
All were waiting
All will wait
As they go over
Mmm, held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing
As they dance over and over
Over
Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely
Yours as we go over
Sing for the lion and kondoo, mwana-kondoo
Their hearts are hunting
Still hearts hold ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and His priests and His kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the cold
Ooooooh, ooooooh
What wewe are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What wewe are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What wewe are given
Can't be forgotten
Cold
Slow, we paddle through the lake
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still
True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain
A land of mere suspension where someday we must go
And though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still

My upendo will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
upendo will be the echo in your ears when all is Lost and plundered
My upendo will be there still
If we never found this love
If we never took that road
If we hadn't had the heart
We wouldn't have this home
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
In this world the moyo beats slow
In my arms let's share the cold
In my eyes you’re all I've known
Darling let's go home
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
If we never took that road
If we hadn't had the heart
We wouldn't have this home
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you

Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Love, upendo will take you
Love, upendo will take wewe there
Last born of the clan
First one to be free
Lived inside a house
Beneath the hanging tree
Loved them deadly nights
That chilled him to the bone
Words were cried at night
In unforgiving tones
Blood of his men was gone beneath snow
He picked up his kisu and his bow
Killer of Jonathan Low
Violence from without
And anger from within
Crawling through the fields
Informing inayofuata of kin
They all turned their backs
But they all knew his name
And if he could return
They'd probably do the same
Blood of his Marafiki was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died
Killer of Jonathan Low

Up with your turret
Aren’t we just terrified
Shale, screen your worry
From what wewe won’t ever find
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you, down
Down’s sitting round
Folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood and teeth erode
With every crashing node
Wings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you, down
Death is around
Prayer in your smile
wewe barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become
A mortal home
Ahhhh
Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let wewe talk me
Won’t let wewe talk me, down
Will pull it taut
Nothing now
Aren’t we just terrified
Shale, screen your worry
From what wewe won’t ever find
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you, down
Down’s sitting round
Folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood and teeth erode
With every crashing node
Wings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you, down
Death is around
Prayer in your smile
wewe barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become
A mortal home
Ahhhh
Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let wewe talk me
Won’t let wewe talk me, down
Will pull it taut
Nothing now
When these pillars get put down
It will be wewe who wears the crown
And I’ll owe everything to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
How much pain has cracked your soul
And how much upendo would make wewe whole
You’re my guiding lightning strike
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
And she attacks me like a Leo
When my moyo is mgawanyiko, baidisha like Rio
And I assure wewe my debts are real
I can’t find the words to say
When I’m confused
I traveled half the world to say
wewe are my muse
Oooohh
Oooohh
Oooohh
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
Oooohh

A tear in my brain
Allows the voices in
They wanna push wewe off the path
With their frequency wires
And wewe can do no wrong
In my eyes
In my eyes
wewe can do no wrong
In my eyes
In my eyes
A drunken salesman
Your hearing damage
Your mind is restless
They say you’re getting better
But wewe don’t feel any better
(In my eyes
In my eyes)
Your speakers are blowing
Your ears are wrecking
Your hearing damage
wewe wish wewe felt better
wewe wish wewe felt better
(In my eyes
A better place)
wewe can do no wrong
In my eyes
In my eyes
wewe can do no wrong
In my eyes
In my eyes
In my eyes
In my eyes
In my eyes

The saa has begun
Your eyes have now opened
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope’s enslaved
Oh I tremble for my upendo always
Your window’s opened wide
Your innocence takes flight
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope’s enslaved
Oh I tremble for my upendo always
It’s a world where madness craves
It’s a world where hope’s enslaved
Oh I tremble for my upendo always
It’s a world where madness craves
It’s a world where hope’s enslaved
Yeah I tremble for wewe upendo always
Your eyes have now opened
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope’s enslaved
Oh I tremble for my upendo always
Your window’s opened wide
Your innocence takes flight
To a world where madness craves
