lyrics

Scars don’t bleed they only stain our memories
Scars don’t bleed they only stain our memories
They don’t bleed, they don’t bleed, they only stain our memories

Thumping sounds of the soldiers marching though my farmland
Setting fires, blazing through my village with ammunition
Mama is crying while you ask why papa lies in a pool of blood
Down on my knees I ask the Lord why

Scars don’t bleed they only stain our memories
Scars don’t bleed they only stain our memories
They don’t bleed, they don’t bleed, they only stain our memories

Running from my homeland away from these warlords,
Mindless men with power driven motives to wreck havoc
Making deals with the devil, robbing Paul to pay Peter
Leaving my nation in a state of deprivation

Scars don’t bleed they only stain our memories
Scars don’t bleed they only stain our memories
Scars don’t bleed they only stain our memories
