Dying To Get To Europe - Ketil Bjørnstad

sundown on a rif mountain peak

and three dusty friends with white plastic bags

of bread rolls and marmalade

prepare to swap the third world for the first

as long as there is hunger they will come

by dawn they’ll realise

that fortress europe has been busy

waiting for them are two five-mile parallel wire

with razor wire

heat sensors cameras

and watch towers and dogs and guns

there is no tree

but there is the sea

you can’t stop us

we’ll keep coming and coming and coming

if you knew what we were leaving behind

you’d understand that

dying to get to europe

you can’t stop us

we’ll keep coming and coming

dying to get to europe

we’ll keep coming and coming

dying to get to europe

we’ll keep coming and coming

dying to get to europe

we’ll keep coming and coming

we’ll keep coming and coming
