WHERE IS THE BLOOD THAT SHARED MY ROOM

The plane turned toward the terminal … as I terminate the journey
The steps are extended … as I extend my hands
The uniforms are everywhere … everywhere they ask
What brings you here today … what is your task
Where is the blood that shared my room?
 
The darkness of the moment fades … the darkness of their skin 
The shackles put around my hands … the shackles put around my heart
A travel far is yet to come … a travel far for up ahead
The truck has moved me to the gates … the moment moves me to my dread
Where is the blood that shared my room? 
 
I tell the man why I am here … the man tells me why he is here
I look for brother who has come … you look for brother who is gone
As I battle to understand … I understand there was a battle
The sins were taken to Luanda … The sins were shot like sickened cattle
Where is the blood that shared my room?
 
The death song chilled my bones … the revelation chilled my bones evermore
Perhaps I can depart … perhaps I depart no favorable outcome
No body, no clothes, no embrace … no body, no clothes, no one to embrace
What shall I bring back to his mother … what shall I bring back to his father face
Where is the blood that shared my room?
 
The plane turned toward the terminal … as I terminate my journey
The steps are extended … as I extend my hands 
A mother’s cry awaits me … a mother’s pain embraces thee
The father’s eyes are tragic …  his tragic eyes remind me 
Where is the blood that shared my room?
