AFRI-TUNES WEEK 195 - The Blood Still Speaks (Bass Cover)

Hello everyone...
This is for my entry for Afri-tunes week 195. I bring us a bass cover if "The Blood Still Speaks" a song composed by Zuri. This is a song that highlights the predicament of my country Nigeria. It's a song for the moment. Zuri nailed every angle of our story at the moment. The country is messed up, allot of things aren't working out the way it used to be

Insecurity is now at it's peak, some key government officials have hands in it and the government of Nigeria are being complicit about the whole issues. People are sacrificed by the thousands for selfish political reasons and it's very unfortunate that Christians are the most victims of these evil act from our government. They provided a hostile system for us, nothing is favoring the average man and yet the most simplest of all that we begg of them which is security, they can't provide that for us.

There has been mass slaughter of Christians in the country but the government are denying. No doubts we have a pinch of sand of the Muslim faithfuls that are somehow victims too but all is as a result of the Islamic terror groups that was nurtured by their people for their selfish and wicked reasons. This song by Zuri talks allot about our entire story. The blood of the innocent still speaks, their silent cry is making massive waves across the earth and justice will surely prevail. I've not been directly affected but I can feel the impact, if my brothers from the same faith area hurt, if innocent people are paying for the crimes they didn't commit, it creates allot of course to worry.

I don't have to wait till it gets to my door step before I cry out or take it serious but that's what my country people fail to understand. Some of them feel since they're not affected yet, they'll continue to make gest of the whole issue. I don't pray this evil gets to their doorstep, it's horrible and we must create awareness about it, we will continue to echo our pain, make efforts until help comes out way...

The blood of the innocent still speaks... They must get justice!

Song Lyrics

Four thousand nine hundred ninety eight gone in one year
Benue burned eighty five in a week the world still clear
Six thousand run from Plateau plains no soldier near
December twenty five the killers came
No Christmas cheer

One forty killed in Christmas raids
Churches crushed like brittle bones
Pregnant mother toddler child
No names just ashes stones
They danced on pews we bled to build
They smiled while saints were shot
And still
Still they call it clash not plot

The blood still speaks
It don't forget
It don't forgive
It cries unrest
The blood still speaks
It stains the ground
It marks the map
It won't back down
The blood still speaks
You hear it now
Not vengeance
Just the sound of truth allowed
