They have this huge old school sound system that is over buzzing to no clear reggae song - that they hire a pickup to carry - and it has a young DJ mainly standing there than mixing anything. Often, against the rules, the casket is grabbed from a hearse vehicle and tied to a motorbike. There it will be swayed and jerk breaked between other motorbikes on the narrow roads.

2018 - All that should cease

Wind whistling, Snow glistening
We try not to, but we're all listening
Loud screams, bad dreams
It's very far, but close it seems

Sad day lost our way
All we can do is simply pray

Innocence gone, life no longer long
We may not know, but we're all doing wrong

Joy lost, Holocaust
We look to see, Hearts covered on frost
Wars caught, Sins taught
Making mistakes, Hoping not to be caught

Not taking blame, Pushing fame
As advanced as we are, we're still all untamed
Too much pride needing a guide
We will deny it, but behind lies we hide

Hurting others, betraying brothers
Many forgetting, to appreciate mothers
Lies are fed, filling heart and head
Through all of these years
Innocent blood has been shed

Children abandoned
Lonely and stranded
We're all wasting the life
That we've been handed

Taking from the poor
We're living no more
Fight to be free
End up starting a war

People starting fights
No longer enjoying the sights
While mere mortals are taking
Our God given rights

Soldier killed, void can't be filled
Pay close attention, for pure souls have been tilled
Need to find peace, work together like geese
But greatest of all
The hate need to cease
