    This document is a song by Peter Gabriel called "Biko" about the death of anti-apartheid activist Stephen Biko while in police custody in South Africa in 1977. The song describes the weather in Port Elizabeth on the day Biko died, that police claimed it was "business as usual" in the room where he was interrogated, and that Biko is now dead despite the singer's attempts to sleep and dream in another color besides the one color of death that now defines the outside world.

    Biko

    Peter Gabriel
    September '77
    Port Elizabeth weather fine
    It was business as usual
    In police room 619
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    The man is dead
    The man is dead
    When I try to sleep at night
    I can only dream in red
    The outside world is black and white
    With only one colour dead
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    The man is dead
    The man is dead
    You can blow out a candle
    But you
