Lyrics

Fragments of a blurred vision
Imagine yourself as an African archaeologist from the future
Excavating a site, it's a museum from the past
Ruined documents, tangled tapes, cracked discs
And images, many images
Slowly, the clues reveal that they belong to our past
Now our now
Sifting patiently through the rubble, it is our art of forgetting that is striking
Piecing the scattered bits of history, trying to make sense of the heap
Are we still at the the starting block of the eve of independence?
Did Pan-Africanism die?
Was it strangled or is it waiting to be revived?
Was it Lumumba, Nkrumah, Nasser, and Cabral who were misguided
Or did we just go astray?
Divide and rule triumphed, tearing our noble continent apart
North against South, people against people
Tribes with flags
How did such images of bloodshed become normality?
When did humanity lose its compass?
Fragments, only fragments of a blurred vision
