See Me Rise 05:53
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.

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! 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 04:16
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
