SHAME
By Ella Andall

TEARS and BLOOD flow together in a land called Paradise
Yet we close our eyes to the lost, the dead and shattered lives
Honesty is in short supply, truth has taken a name change
And the people standing by as if they're hypnotised
While fathers kill their sons, their daughters and their wives.

Shame on a nation that can't protect its women and its children
[Shame, shame] on a people who see the youth as a curse, not a blessing
Shame! [Shame, shame] Shame on a nation, shame! [Shame, shame]

Are you prepared for when the sins of the parents
Start to fall on the children?
Are you prepared for when the sins of the parents
Start to fall on the children?
You better make preparation,
You better make preparation,
You better make preparation!

GREED and HATE walk united in this place called Paradise
And the hungry wait just for crumbs to whet their appetite
Charity has turned her face but the voice of love, she would answer
And with calm and simple grace, she'll fill this empty place
With love we cannot buy, no matter how we try.

Shame on a nation that won't respect its history and its elders
[Shame, shame] on a people who have no use for the roots of their culture
Shame! [Shame, shame] Shame on a people, shame! [Shame, shame]

Are you prepared for when the sins of the parents
Start to fall on the children?
Are you prepared for when the sins of the parents
Start to fall on the children?
You better make preparation,
You better make preparation,
You better make preparation!

RAGE and PAIN have laid claim to this land called Paradise
And they will remain if we feed the fears and cunning lies
Power dice is the chosen game, idle boast all that we offer
Behind --------- lock and key and false security
In cages that all fail yet keep us tied in jail.

Shame on a nation that still rejects its greatness and its mission
[Shame, shame] on a people who ----------, not the joys of the living
Shame! [Shame, shame] Shame on a nation, shame! [Shame, shame]

Are you prepared for when the sins of the parents
Start to fall on the children?
Are you prepared for when the sins of the parents
Start to fall on the children?
You better make preparation,
You better make preparation,
You better make preparation!

Shame shame [Shame, shame] cry shame on a nation
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame on a people
Shame, shame on the mothers and the fathers
Shame, shame, shame on a nation that won't change the situation
Shame, shame, shame....

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Ella Andall.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
