Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the storm
Neighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line that has been drawn
They've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the streets
While small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat
These lyrics remind me of the Rwanda Genocide. The Hutu and Tutsi lived with each other but underneath there were inner issues from past history. They believed there were different traits between the two groups but since they lived with each other and intermarried those physical traits were seemingly hard to tell. Any rate the hutu were a majority in the population and the Tutsi were a minority in population numbers. In the past the Tutsi were the aristocratic people while the hutu were basically slaves. In current time after the assassination of the hutu government leader, the hutu called for a mass killing of the Tutsi because they believed that they would enslave them. That's why those lyrics match so well to me.
