When they are looking for an excuse<br>
To behead our loved ones<br>
They call it blasphemy
<p>This country is sitting on a keg of gunpowder<br>
Because they call it blasphemy<br>
No one has any right to free opinion anymore<br>
Because they call it blasphemy</p>
<p>It angers me<br>
Bone deep into marrow<br>
That no one is safe<br>
They will kill whoever they like and call it blasphemy</p>
<p>Severed from her body<br>
Soaking the hard desert soil of the north<br>
With life that once was contained in deep red blood<br>
Because of blasphemy</p>
<p>Blasphemy<br>
I call upon Ptolemy<br>
And ask if it is truly blasphemy<br>
He answered; ‘it’s our Nigerian reality’</p>
<p>The day of account shall come<br>
And not one shall escape nemesis<br>
At the height of that crisis</p>
