A place of joy, a place of peace, A place to mourn a blessed release, But in April 1994 .... Two thousand Tutsi's, maybe more Slain by Hutu neighbours and friends so very dear Fought to death with machete and spear. This place their haven, now their tomb Even the unborn child within its mothers womb.
A shaft of light through the window shone No more would they sing their joyous song Children with tortured and haunted minds Left to suffer the wrath of mankind. Scarred by the blade that cut so deep And the westerners full of pity yet seldom weep Skulls and bones left in the aftermath Reminders to us of this terrible bloodbath
