january morning, hot african sun
shields & Spears, gainst bullets and guns
impi advances, ready for the fight
red coat soldiers, have them in there sights

look up at the sky above
pray again you'll see your love
            (2)
the bulls horns, surround you
had to run, nothing else to do
feel humiliation, and defeat
as you run, in retreat

look up at the sky above
pray again you'll see your love
          (chorus)
Inslandlwana, standing majestically
Inslandlwana, what did you see
pray tell me
          (3)
head for the river, your last resort
your paths cross, hand to hand you fought
bayonet and spear pierce the flesh
you both know, you've meet your death

look up at the sky above
you know you'll never see your love
          (4)
the sound of victory drums, fills air
no one's lives, will be spared
were your helmut, and blood stains the ground
white painted stones, can now be found

your dead eyes stare at the sky
won't see your love in this lifetime
          (Chorus)
Inslandlwana, standing majestically
Inslandlwana, what did you see
pray tell me
          (5)
the sun is setting, on a summers day
young boys herd cattle, after play
a mother worries, as she stirs the pot
will her man make it, or will he not

to-night in her grass hut she'll pray
that he'll come back again some day
             (6)
the sun is setting on a winters day
young children by, the hearth fire play
officers wife, sitting sipping tea
will her man make it, was it meant to be

tonight between satin sheets she'll pray
that he'll come back again some day
          (Chorus)
Inslandlwana, standing majestically
Inslandlwana, what did you see
pray tell me
