I wrote this while in Bintulu, north of Sarawak. I was there for a site visit up the Tatau river. I was watching CNN I remembered in the hotel room, and the usual CNN news was on. The words just flowed out like water as I was visualising all these things in my head and wondering how it felt like if I was left alone in a battlefield not knowing what was in store for me next. This song has a war/genocide theme to it, or rather, the aftermath of war/genocide theme.

The papers said it’s safe to breathe today

No body counts in large amounts

Just little sorrowed talks to pass around


The cable news had some light comedy

Of terrorists in suits and ties

Living in self-made pseudo paradise


I heard the radio speak of a name

The man’s insane, out of his mind

But if he is then why are we still blind


Even if the sky should fall

I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken

Even if the end should call

I’ll never leave you all alone and forsaken

Even if the grass grew tall

I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken

Even if the end should call

I’ll never leave you all alone …


Some little children playing in the fields

Above old empty cannon shells

A place where villains rose and heroes fell


A classic case of feeding greed and pride

Destruction of a sanctuary

Where does it leave their future, family


You’ll never miss it in the evening news

A sordid show of attitude

A slandering of ethics in the nude


Even if the sky should fall

I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken

Even if the end should call

I’ll never leave you all alone and forsaken

Even if the grass grew tall

I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken

Even if the end should call

I’ll never leave you all alone …
