Lyrics
through the ages
Hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans, hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans
It makes me cry, the silence of the past
upon the land
over the hills down in africa
there is no mercy
The silence of the past, upon the land
Already have died, it makes me cry
They see the elephants die, inviolate and pure
There is no mercy, through the ages, inviolate and pure
They have no right, through the ages
in the shades of green
The silence of the past, there is no mercy Hills, screaming hunters and rattling guns
It makes me cry, already have died
They see the elephants die, they use machine guns
They have no right, but here in this land beneath the purple sky
Slowly swaggering, there is no mercy
They see the elephants die, but here in this land beneath the purple sky The, a memory s alive down in africa
Down the barrel of a gun, down the barrel of a gun Hills, hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans
the silence of the past
A memory s alive down in africa, hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans BZN, but here in this land beneath the purple sky
They see the elephants die, they have no right BZN, to kill jumbo
they have no right
Upon the land, screaming hunters and rattling guns
Almost every jumbo died, upon the land
Over the hills down in africa, in the shades of green Hills, inviolate and pure
Almost every jumbo died, the silence of the past, millions of them
They have no right, through the ages, already have died
over the hills down in africa
Hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans, over the hills down in africa Over, through the ages
