The Knights Saviour
Akhanani Sapepa 2003 (Port Elizabeth)
Knowingly we would be at a loss
As I march through the fire
Heavy is your cross
Caught within the crossfire
Stabbed through the heart by a stainless sword
Defending your court to the hilt
Forgive me my lord
As I am consumed by guilt
Failure to change what “Just is”
Your majesty
Grant us amnesty
Or
Bring me to Justice
“I’ll be back 8am sharp”
As I tell my wife inconscient I will depart
My rib as the harp
I sing your name with the dying beat of my heart
Gloria - Gloria - Glo-…
