Nanjing Lyrics

When he came into the city that I live in

It was only for to watch the ships roll by

And he changed the locks on all the doors

And he set in stone his path for more

When they came into the city that I live in

They burned the churches all to the floor

No they didn't care nothing 'bout the message

No they didn't care about the cross at all

When he came into the city that I live in

He left his mark like good old Cecil Rhodes

And he scathed a line all through my mind

From Fashoda north to south in quite short time

As the last drops of my mind began to seep out

He called my name and brought me to his side

And he kept me under warmth safe guard and arm

Forever seen in big tree sun and sky
