Mm, Amathambo
A lost child
I wander through the dull dark
My feet touch the moss
And as long as I feel your guidance
I can walk on and on
As I look around
I see
Here, around the house
The lush, the green
Brings me no doubt
Oh, mathambo!
Oh, mathambo, hlanganani!
Oh, mathambo!
Oh, mathambo, hlanganani!
He has driven me
Into this position
I keep my head bowed
When inside the ferrous choke
'Cause I'm caught in the haze
I'm caught in the dark
And my eyes can see the spark
That might re-ignite my heart
Oh, mathambo!
Oh, mathambo, hlanganani!
Oh, mathambo!
Oh, mathambo, hlanganani!
(Oh, mathambo! Oh, mathambo hlanganani!)
Re-assemble me
Put my bones in place
(Oh, mathambo! Oh, mathambo hlanganani!)
Because all I see is an eternal darkness in me
(Oh, mathambo! Oh, mathambo hlanganani!)
And I'm full of fear
I'm full of fright in this eternal dark night
It's the in—
It's the in—
It's the infinite darkness of the night
(Oh, mathambo! Oh, mathambo hlanganani!)
In the heat
In the pain
I cannot turn my gaze inward
(Oh, mathambo! Oh, mathambo hlanganani!)
And will you
Will you put my bones in place
'Cause I'm caught in the gaze
I'm caught in the dark
And my eyes can see the spark
That might re-ignite my heart
