Lyrics
You proclaimed your love one September day
You declared your love on a specific September day
All you had were good things to say
You spoke positively and only had good things to express
Your vow is etched in my mind
Your commitment is deeply ingrained in my memory
Like the words of no other kind
Similar to words that are truly unique and extraordinary
Without a reason, you went on your way
Without any apparent cause, you departed and left
There's no need to call out your name
No necessity to mention your name
Dip your head in the river of shame
Experience the shame by immersing yourself in it
Dip your head in the river of shame
Encounter the shame by submerging your head
You use your office to sell off your name
You exploit your position to trade your identity
To all those people who play the game
Engaging with those who participate in the societal game
Your friends spread out the goods
Your acquaintances distribute valuable items
Throughout the neighbourhoods
Across various neighborhoods
And line your pockets, for the sake of your gain
Resulting in personal financial gain for yourself
In the evening I pray for our daughters and sons
During the evening, I pray for the well-being of our offspring
To rise above the darkness to come
Hoping they can overcome the impending darkness
Your pews are empty like your homilies
Your church benches are vacant, much like your sermons
That's why they burn you in effigy
This is why people symbolically burn effigies of you
Without meaning in your words
Your words lack significance
You know the truth can never be heard
The truth remains unheard in your communication
You are nothing now, just a fantasy
You are now nothing more than a figment of imagination
There's no need to call out your name
No need to explicitly mention your name
Dip your head in the river of shame
Immerse yourself in the river of shame
Dip your head in the river of shame
Submerge your head in the river of shame
There's no need to call out your name
No need to explicitly mention your name
Just dip your head in the river of shame
Just immerse your head in the river of shame
There's no need to call out your name
No need to explicitly mention your name
Just dip your head in the river of shame
Just immerse your head in the river of shame
Oh the river of shame, ooooh, the river of shame
Oh, the river of shame, expressing deep emotional impact
