Lyrics

From a house comes the sound of an infant crying
People stand and stare at the door they dare not go in
Where a child lies sobbing beside a lifeless body
Trying in vain to awaken the mother within
This chain of death has so many faces
From the frightened man to the pitiful child
Where is our deliverance here?
Will this not pass over?
Don't go down to Kikwit Town
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
They will not give us my father's body
The men in orange suits started gathering 'round
They asked the names of all those who live here
And they threw his body down a hole and burned his house down
What have we done to deserve this?
God's wrath has surely come
He lets the devil walk among us
He lets death into our homes
Where is our deliverance here
From this demon loosed upon us?
Don't go down to Kikwit Town
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
Is it not enough we live in this squalor?
Is it not enough these sacrifices we make?
Are we not entitled to some mercy
On this short journey we take?
I won't go back
They said come down and answer all our questions
It's best for all if I turn myself in
I know as sure as I walk through that hospital door
I will never see daylight again
What have we done to deserve this?
God's wrath has surely come
He lets the devil walk among us
He lets death into our homes
Where is our deliverance here
From this demon loosed upon us?
Don't go down to Kikwit Town
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
Why is the demon loose upon us?
(Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back)
Are we not entitled to some mercy?
(Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back)
Kikwit Town, where is our mercy?
(Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back)
Kikwit Town, God's wrath has surely come upon us
(Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back, won't go back)
I won't go back
(Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back)
Kikwit Town, don't look back
(Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back, won't go back)
Kikwit Town
Is there no mercy?
Kikwit Town
What have we done to deserve this?
Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back
Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back
Won't go back to Kikwit Town, won't go back
