[male
vocals] (
Ooh-ooh,
yeah)
Alone
in
the
silence
Just
the
hum
of
the
machine
And
the
weight
of
the
years (
Yeah,
yeah) 2019,
they
moved
me
from
Mufulira
town
Left
my
home,
left
my
wife,
Ronald
Ross
behind
They
brought
me
here
to
Kakoso,
Chililabombwe
Two
long
years,
alone,
day
and
night,
just
me
Staring
at
the
shadow
of
the
man
I
used
to
be
Trying
to
keep
my
head
up
while
my
heart
is
on
my
knee
I
am
the
man
behind
the
painless
surgery
You
never
see
my
face,
but
I
hold
your
life
in
me
I
have
given
all
I
have,
with
no
thanks
to
show
But
still
I
rise,
still
I
serve,
still
I
don't
let
go
Yeah,
I
hold
your
life
in
me,
though
my
own
is
fading
low
They
promised
my
wife
a
job,
a
place
in
health
But
seven
years
have
passed, 2026,
still
nothing
left
I
wake
at
midnight,
leave
my
children
sleeping
To
save
a
life,
while
my
own
family
is
waiting
Building
up
a
legacy
on
promises
they
broke
Watching
all
my
dreams
just
evaporate
like
smoke
I
am
the
man
behind
the
painless
surgery
You
never
see
my
face,
but
I
hold
your
life
in
me
I
have
given
all
I
have,
with
no
thanks
to
show
But
still
I
rise,
still
I
serve,
still
I
don't
let
go
Yeah,
I
hold
your
life
in
me,
though
my
own
is
fading
low
I
have
taught
my
juniors,
shared
all
my
skills
I
have
run
to
help
others
when
they
could
not
do
it
still
I
have
served
the
wards,
the
theatre,
every
cadre
But
all
my
work
falls
on
ears
that
do
not
hear
I’
m
just
a
ghost
in
the
hallway,
a
servant
to
the
pain
Dancing
with
the
ghosts
while
I’
m
standing
in
the
rain
My
heart
is
tired,
my
spirit’
s
running
thin
I’
m
losing
count
of
every
battle
that
I’
ve
been
in
It’
s
a
breakup
with
the
life
that
I
thought
I
had
Leaving
all
the
memories,
good
and
the
bad (
I'm
so
tired,
I'm
so
tired)
I
am
the
man
behind
the
painless
surgery
You
never
see
my
face,
but
I
hold
your
life
in
me
I
have
given
all
I
have,
with
no
thanks
to
show
But
still
I
rise,
still
I
serve,
still
I
don't
let
go
Yeah,
I
hold
your
life
in
me,
though
my
own
is
fading
low
Still
I
don't
let
go
Even
when
the
night
gets
cold
Just
another
shift,
another
life
saved
While
I'm
broken
here,
feeling
so
alone (
Alone
in
the
night) (
Just
the
anaesthetist)
Yeah.
