Chikurubi you took away my day and my night
My dignity, my soul and you tried to take my life
You're a monument to hell and evil and each day I pray
That the Lord split you asunder
On His mighty judgment Day, judgement day

I lie naked on the concrete
There's no window, just a door
And the only air is odour
From a valve hole in the floor

The cell is claustrophobic
And it measures one-by-three
Three steps forward, three steps back is exercise for me

There no pen, no paper, books or news
Or letters from outside
And I wonder 'bout my friend and folks
My children and my bride

And the loneliness of spirit makes me pray for company
A cockroach or a spider or an ant
Or just a flea

Chikurubi you took away my day and my nights,
My dignity, my soul and you tried to take my life
You're a monument to hell and evil and each day I pray
That the Lord split you asunder
On his mighty judgment day, judgement day

I don't know date or month or year
Or if it's day or night
I'm in darkness all the time
And there's no natural light

The gallows are adjacent
To the so called sick bay block
The innocent are hung there
They've got no chance in the dock

And the torture of emotions
Is my persecutors' plan
But the spirit that God gave me
Is unreachable by man

He's my councillor, protector,
My confidant and friend
And it's him that's going to keep me going to
The very end

Chikurubi you took away my day and my nights
My dignity, my soul and you tried to take my life
You're a monument to hell and evil and each day I pray
That the Lord split you asunder
On his mighty judgment day, judgement day

They beat someone till he confessed
A crime he didn't do
Just like they did to Jesus
When he died for me an you

And then despair engulfed me
Would've taken my own life
If I only had a length of rope
Some poison or a knife

Then I saw a name was scratched into the concrete of my cell
And I saw that one before me suffered twenty years of hell

Must have been the holy spirit
That kept his head up high
If Evan Woods could do
I said so the hell can I

Chikurubi you took away my day and my nights
My dignity, my soul and you tried to take my life
You're a monument to hell and evil and each day I pray
That the Lord split you asunder
On his mighty judgment day, judgement day
