[Verse 1]
In the name of
And by the power of
The holy spirit
May we invoke your
Intercession for
The children of England
Some of whom have seen
Murder so obscene
Some of whom have been taken

[Refrain 1]
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain

[Refrain 2]
Jah forgive us
For forgetting
Jah help us
We need more loving
See the teachers
Are representing you
So badly
That not many can see you

[Refrain 2]
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain

[Verse 2]
Jah calls the ones who's
Beliefs kill children to
Feel the love of you and be healed
And may we all cry too
For representing you
So badly so badly

[Refrain 2]
Jah forgive us
For forgetting
Jah help us
We need more loving
See the teachers
Are representing you
So badly
That not many can see you

[Refrain 1]
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain

Massive Attack are an English trip hop group formed in 1988 in Bristol, consisting of Robert “3D” Del Naja, Grant “Daddy G” Marshall and formerly Andy “Mushroom” Vowles.

With their roots in the Bristol, England, club scene of the early 1980s, the members of Massive Attack originated trip-hop, one of the most influential sounds of the 1990s, combining the rhythmic urgency of hip-hop, the freewheeling samples of the DJ’s craft, soul-rich melodies, and dub-reggae’s hefty, intoxicating bottom end.
