What new master has now built his throne on brothers bones?
why are you sheltering me,
he that walks this path alone?
somewhat unfeasible.
Drops of water are invisible, but nonetheless, form the sea;
Why are you consoling me?
You pledge not to rest, and each directs, and is directed in turn,
and this can leave you disheartened at best,
wondering which lessons first to unlearn.
You cry out for unity. You cry out for purity.
Now what? Wait in turn, but fly to burn?
My heart is red as night, my heart is fire and its alight;
and how come fire, fury and flame can be so alike tonight?
and how come I defile, everytime?
“myheartisredasnight myheartisfireanditsalight” *deep inhale*
Damn, that's masterpiece

I have the vinyl record of "A passage to Rhodesia" but why is this song not included???
It was in a BOXSET... on a 10" and it lasted 10:17s. There also was another track - Braai The Beloved Country.
Moje serce jest czerwone jak noc, moje serce jest ogniem i jego płomieniem;
a jakże ogień, furia i płomień
może być dziś taki podobny?
i jak to się stało, że za każdym razem się skalam?
💕✨💕
who's that guy on the image?
Rhodesian soldier.
Wiki time
Rhodesia was an unrecognised state in southern Africa from 1965 to 1979, equivalent in territory to modern Zimbabwe. Rhodesia was the de facto successor state to the British colony of Southern Rhodesia, which had been self-governing since achieving responsible government in 1923. A landlocked nation, Rhodesia was bordered by South Africa to the south, Bechuanaland (later Botswana) to the southwest, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique (a Portuguese province until 1975) to the east. British historian William Hale notes that the state of Rhodesia was “simply the most successful example of decolonisation”.
In the late 19th century, the territory north of the Transvaal was chartered to the British South Africa Company, led by Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes and his Pioneer Column marched north in 1890, acquiring a huge block of territory that the company would rule until the early 1920s. In 1923, the company's charter was revoked, and Southern Rhodesia attained self-government and established a legislature. Between 1953 and 1963, Southern Rhodesia was joined with Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
The decolonisation of Africa in the early 1960s alarmed a significant proportion of Rhodesia's white population. In an effort to delay the transition to black majority rule, Rhodesia's predominantly white government issued its own Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) from the United Kingdom on 11 November 1965. (The government of the United Kingdom supported Rhodesia's transition to a multiracial democracy.) The UDI administration initially sought recognition as an autonomous realm within the Commonwealth of Nations, but reconstituted itself as a republic in 1970. The Rhodesian Bush War, which pitted the government against two African nationalist organisations, ZANU and ZAPU, intensified in the 1970s, prompting Rhodesian premier Ian Smith to concede to multiracial democracy in 1978. However, a provisional government subsequently headed by Smith and his moderate colleague Abel Muzorewa failed in appeasing international critics or halting the bloodshed. By December 1979, Muzorewa had replaced Smith as Prime Minister and secured an agreement with the militant nationalists, allowing Rhodesia to briefly revert to colonial status pending elections under a universal franchise. It finally achieved internationally recognised independence in April 1980 as the Republic of Zimbabwe.
Rhodesia's largest cities were its capital, Salisbury, and Bulawayo. The white population, which grew to nearly 300,000, dominated the country's politics and economy, though they never made up more than 8% of the total population. Rhodesia developed an economy largely dependent on agriculture, manufacturing, and mining. Its largest exports were chromium, tobacco, and steel. International sanctions put increasing pressure on the country as time went on. The unicameral Legislative Assembly was predominantly white, with minority of seats reserved for blacks. Following the declaration of a republic in 1970, this was replaced by a bicameral Parliament with a House of Assembly and a Senate. The Westminster system was retained, with the President acting as ceremonial head of state, and the Prime Minister, heading the Cabinet, as head of government.
Could also be Mugabe.I'm not sure.
Can someone post the lyrics please?

Now I'm crying.
Thanks.
that's ok, glad to be of service. :) its a hell of a song. makes me cry too.
Gracias!!!
Wow so beaitiful...thank you
Can you tell me a meaning of this song?
Pepe the Frog pretty sure it’s about Rian Malan who wrote an autobiography with the same name as the song.
Pathological Altruism. The benevolent racism of low expectations.
It’s about Mugabe, the “new master” of Zimbabwe/Rhodesia, who solidified his power over the country by committing genocide against rival tribes and attacking white farmers (“built his throne on brothers’ bones”)
Pftt...
ok boomer
