A Country Denied - Rome

Oh you, my lowland brother

What did we really know of each other

They had seen to it that we were kept apart

Oh you, my lowland brother

When did we lose each other

For you were but a boy with the freedom of falcons in is heart

When did we know that we were on the wrong side

That this war had always been just a matter of pride

When did we notice the one with the land we loved

You’ll cry within your heaven above

This is no time for amnesia

And what glue would hold us together now

If not the soil of Rhodesia

Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts

And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs

And theirsightless eyes of a honeydew sun

Now we’re sleeping in circles

On the stones of silverstream

Under nectar-weeping trees

Through blood-curdling screams

This call for the great divide

It felt like an end to pride

A country dead before the seizure

A country denied

Rhodesia

Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts

And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs

And theirsightless eyes of a honeydew sun

Now we’re sleeping in circles

On the stones of silverstream

Under nectar-weeping trees

Through blood-curdling screams

This call for the great divide

It felt like an end to pride

A country dead before the seizure

A country denied
