No horsemen in the night are ridin'
And they told me the duty I owed to my fatherland
Kuia stop your cryin', there's no bombs a fallin'
Kuiama she waits there for me
Showed the pain that had been in that far off place
"Hello, how do you do?"
I made my stand
My, my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin'
And you won't go back so you might say
It's just that I mean, well that is to say
Real mean, that bullet machine
No more trenches where the soldiers lie
They teach you to kill and they send you away
And they left you to wander in the ruin and decay
No more silver rain will hit your ground
I wanted to run but they gave me a gun
So cool, that no mercy tool
No more life be drowned
Baby goodnight
And no more people die
Through your dreams and tearing at your life
Kuia please believe me, I just couldn't help myself
Is a long, long way and you're here today
And I heard them scream in their agony
That I'm trying to explain but I'll start again
Beneath that big black sky
And no more guns will sound
With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay
See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles
To say how your Ma and your Pa passed away
So sad, treated so bad
Kuia in this country, they got rules with no reason
Wake up Kuiama, I got somethin' to tell you
For you, I must be true
Kuia I just shot them, I just blew their heads open
