The Western World absolution sought

“Provide a white sacrificial lamb, accusers will be appeased” you thought

Boer Nation be your sacrificial lamb on the altar

Truth be damned as your conscience falter

The wrath of the ever demanding you fear

So the crimes commited and imagined became ours alone to bear

Maybe the Boer nation can be offered as blood

Maybe that will stop the demanding flood

Our voices silenced, the other side loud

No truth from the sacrificial lamb was allowed

By your sins, real and imagined, you were damned

And the world imagined crimes we did not commit to justify what they planned

Hands dripping with blood was transformed to saints

Skillfull, deceitfully you removed all taints

History rewritten, Wakanda dreams to awaken

All rights to appeal from us was taken

You new Emily’s, awake

Bring the Hobhouse message of the truth, the world to shake

Let those who offered the sacrifical lamb stand ashamed

Let their deceit be known, all the lies they claimed

Open your ears, Open your eyes

Break all those devious ties

History will be silent no more

Truth will come to the fore

Four Colours will rise when others falls

We can hear, Langenhoven calls

So stop laying your sins at our door

We will be your sacrificial lamb no more
