Shibir cadre killed in 'crossfire'
(Somewhere in a Bangladesh police station)
(There's a guy starting to realize)
(That eternal fate)
(Has turned its back on him)
(It's 3:30 am)

'An alleged activist of Islami Chhatra Shibir was killed in 'crossfire' between the Rapid Action Battalion and his associates at Chariya under Hathazari in Chittagong early Sunday, raising the crossfire death toll to 292 since June 2004. RAB sources said Dilwar Hossain alias Azrail Dilwar, chief of the Azrail group, also accused in half a dozen cases, including three murders, died in crossfire when they went to recover arms along with him in the area at around 3:30am.
It's 3:30 am (it's 3:30 am)
The fear is gone (the fear is gone)
I'm sittin' here waiting (I'm sittin' here waiting)
The shutter gun they'll plant still warm (the shutter gun's still warm)

Earlier, a Chittagong RAB squad, on secret information, arrested Dilwar from the city's Laldighi area Saturday afternoon.
A double cross messenger
All alone
Can't get no connection
Can't get through
Where are you

RAB claimed that after his arrest they took him to Chariya to recover arms according to his confessional statement.
Well, the night weighs heavy
On his guilty mind
This far from the border line

When they reached Chariya High School premise, accomplices of Dilwar opened fire on RAB. The battalion men also fired gunshots on the criminals, RAB said.
And when the hitman comes
More than 50 rounds of bullets were traded, of which RAB admittedly fired 19 rounds.
He knows damn well he has been cheated
And he says

Dilwar sustained serious bullet wounds in the line of fire and was taken to Hathazari Health Complex where the doctors declared him dead.

Help, I'm stepping into the Crossfire Zone
The place is a mad-house
Feels like being cloned
My arms cache been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone

RAB recovered nine firearms, including four SBBL guns, three revolvers, two light guns and 73 rounds of ammunitions from the spot after the encounter. RAB said Dilwar was involved in extortion, robbery and rape in the city and accused in sensational murders taking place in the city.
When the bullet hits the bone, ah-ah-ha
When the bullet hits the bone
