No one must ever see
This thing you're showing me
That bastard fouls our name
My baby's not to blame
For what I've done
You must decide upon
Which side you're really on
You whored to have this kid
That isn't what I did!
Don't touch my son
You must seem how it is when you're my wife
Having that child of his brands us for life
No alternative! This child cannot live!
No!
You will not touch him
Don't touch my boy
He's what I live for
He's my only joy
(You will not touch him) He is my enemy
It's he turns you from me
(Don't touch my boy) Erase him from your life
Even your memory
(He's what I live for) He's one drop in a flood
Left here to taint our blood
(He's my only joy) Our marriage bond was sworn
Forget that he was born
Get back!
Of course you have a gun
(You will not touch my little boy) And now you'll shoot your cousin'
And it's a U.S. gun
(And do not test my will) A gun that lost the war
You're the corrupted one
(I'm warning you, for him) Go on and shoot! Don't wait
To save your bastard son (I'll kill!)
You must not hesitate
The earth moves where I stand
I feel the turning of a wheel
I feel nothing in my hand
Not even the feel of steel
You will not take my child
You don't know how to kill
I have no other choice
What I must do I will
This is the hour
This is our land
We found the power
In our brother's hand
And from a storm
No!
Pierced with light
Fierce and white
The lightning came
A bright'ning flame
To end the night
One man to heed us
Each girl, each boy
One voice to lead us
In a song of joy
This is the hour
This is the land
