The Champion And His Burning FlameDependence Day (single), released 14 February 20121. Dependence DayBased on the poem 'Because I Loved This Land' by Susan N. Kiguli I I hold a thousand tears In the cup of my skinny hand. I carry ten thousand wails In the deep hollows of my ears. I host a million bloated babies In the deep brown of my eyes. I house ten million graves In the curls of my thinning hair. I have stored pouches upon pouches of pus In the blisters of my heart. II So we do not talk about them Those other wrapped in rebel and state cross fire. We do not sing about them. How can we sing of things we do not know? How will we sing about old men’s guts eaten out by hunger, Old men’s eyes closed for fear of watching axes tear the heads Off their grand children? How can we explain missing ears, lips, noses, Lone limbs traversing the land Without their owners? How can we ever talk about these things Without tumors of bitterness Teeming in our hearts? No wonder we are silent. III I will not talk about them I will talk of other things Of the man who hung naked On the tree and sweated sorrow for us. I will sing only of water and blood Flowing out of a side and a voice That whispered “it is finished.” I can think about glory Wrapping darkness in a shroud And storing it in an eternal grave. I will think on love of a heavenly prince Clothed in earthly tatters fighting Swindlers in the temple of God. I will think of a little child talking To bearded men about his Father’s love. I will sing about a risen son And transcending peace. I will sing of the victory Of love embracing love That is the only way I can ever walk upright. * * * * * * * * *lyricsLyrics: Come give your heart to the God of man Come give your heart to the God of man; you're wanting Some will come and some will go, it's dependence day and you should know Come give your heart to the God of man Come give your heart to the God of man; you're wanting Some will come and some will go, it's dependence day and you should know I'm the one who sets apart Seldom hands, but always heart Hold this cup in my skinny hands; tear it off, yeah, I know you can Come give your heart to the God of man Come give your heart to the God of man; you're wanting Some will come and some will go, it's dependence day and you should know Walk through the cities where I used to live I smell the blood, I see the sin Take this from me, or take me know I don't care who, I don't care how Do you feel discouraged? Does the water taste fine? Are you fear and trembling? Did you mold the mountains? Were you there when stars fell? Will you meet your maker?
