Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
They always start with a kind of storm
– Ziqala njalo ngohlobo oluthile lwesiphepho
You know, a real powerful storm
– Uyazi, isiphepho esinamandla ngempela
And there’s always this, um, this dark, thick rain, like, like fresh motor oil
– Futhi kuhlale kunjalo, um, le mvula emnyama, eminyene, efana, njengamafutha amasha emoto
Storm started, somethin’ happened
– Isiphepho saqala, kwenzeka okuthile
His face, his eyes were, were, uh, different
– Ubuso bakhe, amehlo akhe, ayenjalo, uh, ehlukile
By the time they tried to evacuate the cities, it was already too late
– Ngesikhathi bezama ukususa abantu emadolobheni, kwase kwephuze kakhulu
The infection was everywhere
– Ukutheleleka kwakukuyo yonke indawo
The virus is harvesting, what do you mean H7N3?
– Igciwane ukuvuna, usho UKUTHINI H7N3?
Begin life in a lab in the first war of vaccines
– Beg ukuphila elabhorethri empini yokuqala yokugoma
Million die in the first week in the pandemic dreams
– Izigidi zifa ngesonto lokuqala emaphusheni omqedazwe
Reality, black death, smallpox, mutated disease
– Iqiniso, ukufa okumnyama, ubhubhane, isifo esiguqukile
Flu-shot propaganda for all population and troops
– Inkulumo-ze edutshulwe umkhuhlane yabo bonke abantu namabutho
Avoid the plague, it might have seeped into the room
– Gwema isifo esiwumshayabhuqe, kungenzeka ukuthi sangena ekamelweni
It’s now airborne with firestorm, signal our doom
– Manje isisemoyeni ne-firestorm, ibonisa ukubhujiswa kwethu
The dead returns with a pissed off zombie mood
– Abafileyo babuya benesimo sengqondo sokuthukuthela
The sprinkler system equipped with AuAg
– Isistimu yokufafaza ifakwe I-auag
Where they round up survivors? In a cold facility
– Lapho beqoqa khona abasindile? Esikhungweni esibandayo
Watch the process of terror from the hill near the stream
– Bheka inqubo yokwesaba usegqumeni eliseduze nomfudlana
I remain in a gas mask; I still filter my water clean
– Ngihlala ngigqoke imaski yegesi; ngisahlunga amanzi ami ahlanzekile
This isn’t past tense or the plague of Athens
– Lokhu akusona isikhathi esedlule noma isifo Esiwumshayabhuqe Saseathene
Couldn’t be eradicated like smallpox in action
– Ayikwazanga ukuqedwa njengesifo sofuba lapho isebenza
Avian influenza in the jetstream is how it happens
– Umkhuhlane wezinyoni ejetstream yindlela okwenzeka ngayo
2020 combined with coronavirus, bodies stacking
– 2020 kuhlanganiswe ne-coronavirus, ukubekwa kwemizimba
The world is now at the start of the influenza pandemic
– Izwe manje seliqala ubhadane lomkhuhlane
It started as rioting, it was in the street outside, it was coming through windows
– Kwaqala njengemibhikisho, kwakusemgwaqweni ongaphandle, kwakufika ngamafasitela
Sequence the virus and determine its origin
– Ukulandelela igciwane bese unquma imvelaphi yalo
It was a virus
– Kwakuyigciwane
Something in the blood
– Okuthile egazini
A virus which has been engineered at a genetic level to be helpful rather than harmful
– Igciwane eliye laklanywa ngezinga lofuzo ukuze libe usizo kunokuba libe yingozi
This city’s sick like disease and it can’t be cured
– Leli dolobha ligula njengesifo futhi alikwazi ukwelashwa
Few that remained, their brain’s stained with the bloodshed
– Bambalwa abasele, ubuchopho babo bugcwele ukuchitheka kwegazi
In a smokescreen state
– Esimweni sokubhema
Death, disease
– Ukufa, izifo
You feel a burning sensation
– Uzizwa unomuzwa ovuthayo
Nothing remains
– Akukho okusele
This city’s sick like disease and it can’t be cured
– Leli dolobha ligula njengesifo futhi alikwazi ukwelashwa
Few that remained, their brain’s stained with the bloodshed
– Bambalwa abasele, ubuchopho babo bugcwele ukuchitheka kwegazi
In a smokescreen state
– Esimweni sokubhema
Death, disease
– Ukufa, izifo
You feel a burning sensation
– Uzizwa unomuzwa ovuthayo
You’ll have to act fast, grab your gas mask
– Kuzodingeka wenze fast, ngiyothatha gas mask yakho
Bad disaster has passed
– Inhlekelele embi isidlulile
Anarchy, cataclysm
– Ukungabi nabulungisa, inhlekelele
Stand guard please, blast your big guns
– Yima unogada sicela, blast izibhamu zakho big
Havoc’s begun, viral outbreak
– Umonakalo usuqalile, ukuqubuka kwegciwane
Tragic things done, crowds renounce faith
– Izinto ezibuhlungu ezenziwe, izixuku ziyayeka ukholo
Atrocious horror witnessed, broke the hopes of optimistic
– Ukwethuka okwesabekayo kwafakazela, kwaqeda amathemba okuba nethemba
Scope is post-apocalyptic
– Ububanzi buyi-post-apocalyptic
Lone is harsh and vicious, gross and darker
– Ulone unonya futhi unonya, unonya futhi umnyama
Throwing darts, blow apart the wicked
– Ukujikijela imicibisholo, ukuhlukanisa ababi
Foes know I’m sadistic
– Izitha ziyazi ukuthi nginesihluku
Cold, my aura is sick, soldiers start resistance
– Ebandayo, i-aura yami iyagula, amasosha aqala ukumelana
Enemy troops in NBC suits
– Amasosha esitha agqoke amasudi E-NBC
We shoot, then we regroup
– Siyadubula, bese sihlangana kabusha
Conquer weak with armed fleet
– Anqobe ababuthakathaka imikhumbi ahlomile
Bomb the streets with DR. CREEP
– Bisa amabhomu emigwaqweni NODKT. CREEP
The scientific criteria for an influenza pandemic have been met
– Izindinganiso zesayensi zobhubhane lomkhuhlane ziye zahlangatshezwa
You need a doctor to tell you that
– Udinga udokotela ukukutshela ukuthi
This virus is human
– Leli gciwane lingumuntu
Radio stopped broadcasting, there were reports of infection in Paris and New York
– Umsakazo wayeka ukusakaza, kwakunemibiko yokutheleleka Eparis Nasenew York
The army blockades were overrun
– Ukuvinjelwa kwebutho kwaqedwa
What scientists know about this new strain
– Lokho ososayensi abakwaziyo ngalolu hlobo olusha
Decided to raise the level of influenza pandemic alert
– Wanquma ukukhuphula izinga lokuqapha ubhadane lomkhuhlane
This city’s sick like disease and it can’t be cured
– Leli dolobha ligula njengesifo futhi alikwazi ukwelashwa
Few that remained, their brain’s stained with the bloodshed
– Bambalwa abasele, ubuchopho babo bugcwele ukuchitheka kwegazi
In a smokescreen state
– Esimweni sokubhema
Death, disease
– Ukufa, izifo
You feel a burning sensation
– Uzizwa unomuzwa ovuthayo
Nothing remains
– Akukho okusele
This city’s sick like disease and it can’t be cured
– Leli dolobha ligula njengesifo futhi alikwazi ukwelashwa
Few that remained, their brain’s stained with the bloodshed
– Bambalwa abasele, ubuchopho babo bugcwele ukuchitheka kwegazi
In a smokescreen state
– Esimweni sokubhema
Death, disease
– Ukufa, izifo
You feel a burning sensation
– Uzizwa unomuzwa ovuthayo
Can I look at one of these gas masks?
– Ngingabheka enye yalezi zimaski zegesi?
Sure, what do you wanna look at?
– Yiqiniso, yini ofuna ukuyibuka?
