Still Here Koba, Still Here lyrics

Where are you Koba?

Where are you now?

Your sanity had left you

A guilty conscious always there

The paranoia that gives no rest

Still here, you tried to kill it

The voices of dissension eternal

Their murmuring rang out

Always echoing in your mind

Never finding relief of them

Did you think those camps distant

Would crush our free spirits

And make them fall in desperation

The body may be fettered and whipped

But the soul is always free

Still here Koba, still here

The red banner has fallen away

The skies have cleared to show

To show the way to righteousness

That veil of darkness is now gone

My comrades sleep, you made it so

We let you and your ambitious men

Let them steal our lives for their own

But they are lost in time with you

And my comrades, they sleep in peace

The threat of intellectuals cuts deep

In the dark wounds of a meager man

Whose unseen scars led to death

Unable to heal, unable to understand

That history brings judgment unfearing

Still here, the undying longing is

For nations yearn to be free

Their people to flourish, in freedom

Each finding their own destiny

And experiencing the dignity of man

Still here Koba! Still here!
