See Me Rise

See Me Rise
See me rise from the ashes of a tribe to the masses.
In my eyes see the burden of a prize won through murder.
You turn your back on love
Now love long gone.
Her shadows still remain
You play with them like puppets in the sun.
(Lost within the barrels of your gun)
You love to play her games
Tongue-twisted words
She jump into your flame constrained by chains to kill a mocking bird.
(You're all the same just following the herd)
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be gone
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done.
Come the morning
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done
Rise up, Rise up now Babylon be gone
Read the warning sign.
See me rise from the water where
Mother Earth lost a daughter
In her eyes I see the burden of a prize won through murder.
What do you want from her?
She not to blame.
A world baptised by fire for her desire to lose this futile game.
(No no she not to blame)
We don't hear her sound
We out of range
Her flame will burn the ground we walk on still your love will never change.
Until we ...
Rise up rise up too strong the masses
Rise up rise up until the kingdom crashes down
Raising Babylon to the ground.
<Dub section 16 bars>
See me rise from the ashes of a tribe to the masses.
In my eyes see the burden of a prize won through murder.
You turn your back on love
Now love long gone.
Her shadows still remain
You play with them like puppets in the sun.
(Lost within the barrels of your gun)
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be gone
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done.
Come the morning
Rise up, rise up now Babylon be done
Rise up, Rise up now Babylon be gone
Read the warning sign.

Together Mighty

Resistance against the powers that be
People stand tall get up off your knees
Existence of liberty
Relies on a people's desire to be free
Conductance of fear and greed
Flows through the vein of humanity
Reluctance, (turn off your TV)
Alone we are small but together mighty.
A people divided will never be free
Together Mighty, Together Mighty
We are united from land to sea
Together Mighty, Together Mighty
So we turn on the bass as you wind up your waist
Ripping up the dancehall burning up the place
Music makers and dreamers of dreams
Urban Lions in a rubbadub stylee
Resistance against the powers that be
People stand tall get up off your knees
Existence of liberty
Relies on a people's need to be free
A people divided will never be free
Together Mighty, Together Mighty
We are united from land to sea
Together Mighty, Together Mighty
So we turn on the bass as you wind up your waist
Ripping up the dancehall burning up the place
Music makers and dreamers of dreams
Urban Lions in a rubbadub stylee.

In The Sahara!

In The Sahara!
Take a breath and slide back down
Sandstorms spiral like a helter skelter
A call to prayer as the faithful bow
Everybody running to the kasbah's shelter
Breath ... Take in the oasis
Wash the mirage from our senses
Burn .... In the fire of the bass drum
Fly to the rhythm of the oscillating sun.
In the Sahara! In The Sahara!
Deep beneath the desert sands
A river of gold in the undercurrent
Bitten by greed the foolish hand
Takes a hold on the thunder serpent
Stop ... Listen to his heartbeat
Feel the pulse of the living planet
Drop ... The scorpion
Fly to the rhythm of the oscillating sun
In the Sahara! In the Sahara!

Hold Me Down

Walk out that door and the world will shed a tear
For the only one I know who can save us from the fear
They stab you in the back and stone you on the ground
You're what the world is waiting for don't let them hold you down.
Hold me down no don't hold me down
Hold me down no don't hold me down
The people stand with you to fight with tooth and claw
For solidarity and equality for all
Set the people free from the fool who wears the crown
Help me off my knees, please don't hold me down
Hold me down, no don't hold me down
Hold me down, no don't hold me down
Stay strong my friend your vision feeds us all
Battle to the end, put them up against the wall
When the day is done and the treacherous leave town
We'll raise a glass to all we won don't let them hold me down
Hold me down, no don't hold me down
Hold me down, no don't hold me down
Now we're running yeah
