Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a blackhole?
– Ngaba akukho nto ngaphandle kwengqele embindini womngxuma omnyama?
Ooh, bitch
– Oooh, nyam nyam
The signal fire’s gonna burn out
– Umlilo uya kutshisa
Through the sirens and the flares
– Ngee sirens kunye neeflares
I was swallowed by the storm clouds
– Ndaginywa ngamafu esaqhwithi
Hail stones on a glass house
– Amatye esichotho kwindlu yeglasi
There were diamonds in the air
– Kwakukho iidayimani emoyeni
And the oxygen left my chest
– Kwaye ioksijini yashiya isifuba sam
Lost souls trapped beneath this ceiling
– Imiphefumlo elahlekileyo ibanjwe ngaphantsi kwesi silingi
It’s figure eight ’til the ghosts have been laid to rest
– It iight ‘ kuze kube yilapho iziporho ziphumle
Pull it tight, try to stop this bleeding
– Zama ukukrazula le ngxaki, zama ukukrazula
Stampede as the horrors run through my head
– Stampede njengoko horrors sebenzisa ngokusebenzisa kwentloko yam
Death stared and I died a thousand times
– Ukufa kwajonga ndaza ndafa izihlandlo eziliwaka
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
– Amaphupho asebusuku ashiye isiphithiphithi engqondweni yam
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ngaba namhlanje kunzima ukuba kungabikho ngomso?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
– Ezinzulwini zobusuku, sinqumle imigca yamandla
No light but the fire in my eyes
– Akukho kukhanya kodwa umlilo emehlweni am
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ngaba namhlanje kunzima ukuba kungabikho ngomso?
Ooh, bitch
– Oooh, nyam nyam
Sick of living with the pain now
– Phila ubomi obutofotofo ngoku
Someone take me for repair
– Umntu undithathe ukuze repairise
There’s a bitter taste in my mouth
– Kukho incasa ekrakra emlonyeni wam
In the silence, there was ill health
– Kuthe cwaka, kwabakho impilo enkenenkene
Maybe life just isn’t fair
– Mhlawumbi ubomi abulunganga
Maybe I’m just fucking self-obsessed
– Maybe i’m just fuck oompa-loompas
Don’t say I gotta chase this feeling
– Ungatsho ukuba kufuneka ndileqe le mvakalelo
Bullets hit, but it’s only gonna dent the vest
– Bambili-bambui – western sisaala
Wartime with the whole world sleeping
– Ixesha lemfazwe kunye nehlabathi lonke lokulala
Bombs drop on the prison hope built instead
– Iibhombu zehla entolongweni ithemba lakhiwe endaweni
Struck down
– Ibethwe phantsi
Souls carried through an unknown universe
– Imiphefumlo eqhutywa kwindalo engaziwayo
No service for the faithless, everything turns to dust
– Akukho nkonzo kwabangakholwayo, yonke into ijika ibe luthuli
Death stared and I died a thousand times
– Ukufa kwajonga ndaza ndafa izihlandlo eziliwaka
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
– Amaphupho asebusuku ashiye isiphithiphithi engqondweni yam
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ngaba namhlanje kunzima ukuba kungabikho ngomso?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
– Ezinzulwini zobusuku, sinqumle imigca yamandla
No light but the fire in my eyes
– Akukho kukhanya kodwa umlilo emehlweni am
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
– Ngaba namhlanje kunzima ukuba kungabikho ngomso?
There were diamonds in the air
– Kwakukho iidayimani emoyeni
And the oxygen left my chest
– Kwaye ioksijini yashiya isifuba sam
Is there anybody there?
– Ngaba kukho umntu apho?
I pray that I’ll be blessed
– Ndiyathandaza ukuba ndiya kusikelelwa
Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we’re here in spirit
– Amazulu Emhlabeni, Uthixo uyazi kuphela ukuba silapha emoyeni
Chapter and verse, there’s nowhere to go when the sky is the limit
– Isahluko kunye nevesi, akukho ndawo yokuya xa isibhakabhaka ngumda
Reign, reign
– Lawula, ulawulo
Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a blackhole?
– Ngaba akukho nto ngaphandle kwengqele embindini womngxuma omnyama?
Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we’re here in spirit
– Amazulu Emhlabeni, Uthixo uyazi kuphela ukuba silapha emoyeni
Chapter and verse, nowhere to go when the sky is the limit
– Isahluko kunye nevesi, akukho ndawo yokuya xa izulu lingumda
