Listen to: Deaf Center – White Lake
On the eve of March 15,
They prayed for a revolution
to set her free
They said it is the only solution
but the lion set alight everything dear
On the eve of March 15,
they had a family dinner
Little Kareem just became a teen
His eyes for desire they shimmered
but the lion killed Kareem
On the eve of March 15,
For the first time she bled
Her home now a demolished scene
They did what they did and fled
the lion roared; it’s in his genes
On the even of March 15,
He packed his school bag
Now he carries a machine
I killed a man, he brags
The lion stole his dream
On the eve of March 15,
A year later they died
2 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 2 years,
we all cried
We shaved the lion’s hair and trimmed his beard
