BZN - Over the Hills lyrics

Through the ages, upon the land Where he belongs to, the elephant Slowly swaggering, a giant view The pride of nature, inviolate and pure Blood and slaughter, a staggering blow They use machine guns, to k** jumbo Millions of them, already have died There is no mercy, my god, they have no right Over the hills down in Africa In the shades of green, the silence of the past A memory's alive down in Africa Hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans But here in this land beneath the purple sky Down the barrel of a gun, they see the elephants die It makes me cry Screaming hunters and rattling guns They k** for money, they k** for fun Almost every jumbo died There is no mercy, my god, they have no right Over the hills down in Africa In the shades of green, the silence of the past A memory's alive down in Africa Hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans But here in this land beneath the purple sky Down the barrel of a gun, they see the elephants die It makes me cry Over the hills down in Africa In the shades of green, the silence of the past A memory's alive down in Africa Hear the roll of drums that guide the caravans
