Total collapse of law and order
Who will intervene to salvage a future?
Wrong place wrong time, there's a price to pay
Hoping and praying to live and die another day
[x2]
Government sponsored barbarity, ethnic cleansing nationwide
Rape as a weapon of war, a mounting loss of human life
Some men stay to fight, the rest join the women and children and flee for their lives
I don't know about you but I call it genocide!
Refuse to commit when there's no political economic or strategic gain
Besides easing the suffering of a population, a nation in pain
Families, lives, torn apart, how can you sit and do nothing and claim to have a heart
Help 'Heal This Scar On The Conscience of The World'
Hiding behind false morals Britain Inc. why does your blood run cold?!
Total collapse of law and order
Who will intervene to salvage a future?
Wrong place wrong time, there's a price to pay
Hoping and praying to live and die another day
[x2]
Watch your home burn; blood and smoke fill the air
Leaving villages behind, a climate of despair
Trekking to a refugee camp, burning hot days and freezing cold nights
Clinging to the hope that everything will be alright
Official's indecisions, bureaucratic registration
Hour by hour day by day, foster frustration
No sanitation, a threat of infecting the water supply
Like a row of dominoes, -disease will be rife
'NEVER AGAIN', again
Who will intervene to salvage a future?
Wrong place wrong time, there's a price to pay

While the United States labelled the conflict "genocide" (and promptly did nothing much to stop it),
while the UN (and Britain) failed to acknowledge it as such and waited until 2006 to act.
"Never Again" is a phrase used in relation to the Holocaust, and the idea that mankind should not allow such brutal murderous acts to occur again, it has also been used in relation to the Rwandan Genocide and the conflict in Darfur.
'Human Rights Watch' described the conflict as follows:
"Since early 2003, Sudanese government forces and militia called “Janjaweed” have been engaged in an armed conflict with rebel groups called the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/SLM) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM).
As part of its operations against the rebels, government forces waged a systematic campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against civilians who are members of the same ethnic groups as the rebels.
Sudanese government forces and the Janjaweed militias burned and destroyed hundreds of villages, caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths, displaced millions of people, and raped and assaulted thousands of women and girls".
