The one you trusted,
the one you believed,
they plundered us,
they stole our very being.
How many names can we recite?
All have looted us,
all have taken their share.

Sometimes darkness,
blocking the path ahead,
sometimes the illusion of a goal,
with a light that betrayed us,
that stole our light.
How many names can we recite?
All have looted us,
all have taken their share.

To be plundered by death,
would bring no sorrow,
but the cruelty lies in this:
life itself has betrayed us,
life itself has taken its toll.
How many names can we recite?
All have looted us,
all have taken their share.

You who watch our helplessness,
with a smile,
the very streets of your city,
each and every alley,
has robbed us of our breath.
The one you trusted,
they plundered us,
they stole our very being.
