The earth is alone And I give thanks for the fullness Within the firmaments Is golden days and blossoming nights His gently hands Made I I-man, son of him Life was divided and sweet harmony come in Women & children Are we a warrior? Are we a warrior? Are we a warrior? Oh Cupiid. You stupid Let not you arrow from your bow LORD FEET is the mountains, so silent. And filled Fountains of waters, for all of his loving creatures. He give us wisdom, and knowledge TO understand his love Do we have to have a war? Are we a warrior Lord Are we a warrior Are we a warrior OH oh Cupid, it's stupid Let not your arrow from your bow So hold it low And never let it go What cause you have a pistol in your hand LORD Is it for to shot a man down dead? Do we have to have a STORM lord? Why can't we be calm like a lamb? Lord lord above It's not only when There's a small confusion. It is a war There are other ways as well Sometime being confused Within your own head Because at times Hearts get heavier than lead Are we a warrior? Are we a warrior? Are we a warrior? Oh Cupid, it's stupid Let not you arrow from your bow So hold it low And never let go Take a look at sad children And there's often true stories. It should be one all round glory The hour has come And still I can't see no love, it's a war For food, clothes and shelter LORD And crying of mamas and papas Are we a warrior Are we a warrior Are we a warrior Oh Cupid, it's stupid Let not you arrow from your bow Prophecy is now revealed, The son of man won't take heed The hurt he is giving on While life is taken in a sudden shock The crying of the people Multiplying all over Jah will give an answer To every of our prayer Are we a warrior Are we a warrior Are we a warrior Wo oh oh Cupid, it's stupid Let not you arrow from your bow And never let it go Are we a warrior Are we a warrior Are we a warrior

Centuries of terrestrial life force flowing through our fingertips Spirits of our ancestors guiding our hands Supernatural entities benevolent and fused with nature Blessing our minds with endearing wisdom and the passion of warriors A lone stranger will come to save us A brewing tempest in the skin of a man Brace for stainless steel Rendered useless by hand carven passion of the arrowwood We willing martyrs will die to grant our people their better days Wolves behind the masks Provoke conflict on our soil Wolves behind the masks The cowards descend upon the weak Wolves behind the masks Walking in our brother's skins, calling our home their nation Legendary malevolent creatures seeking souls to devour Shaping shifting monstrosities, grinding their teeth, fuck Warrior bloodlines flow through me Brace for stainless steel Rendered useless by hand carven passion of the arrowwood An omnipotent stranger appears and pauses battle with thunder in his words I am the silence in piercing sound Keep me close to you now I am the shadow that tames the moon and paints the earth When you feel the heat of that crushing moment Stand by me and never feel alone I am the silence in piercing sound I am the night Breaking the walls that barricade our passion, crushing fear I am the shadow that blackens the moon A lone stranger has come to save us A brewing tempest in the skin of a man The brave warrior cast out the darkness His words of thunder now calm as the wind I am the silence in piercing sound Keep me close to you now I am the shadow that tames the moon and paints the earth When you feel the heat of that crushing moment Stand by me and never feel alone I am the silence in piercing sound I am the night Wolves behind the masks Provoke conflict on our soil Wolves behind the masks The cowards descend upon the weak Wolves behind the masks Walking in our brothers' skins, calling our home their nation Break the walls Breaking the walls that barricade our passion, crushing fear

What I'm fighting for Is worth far more than silver and gold What I'm fighting for Is a chance to unite the past With the brother's coming home at last Fighting together for light Sons and daughters of Abraham Lay down to a higher command Don't be tricked by the acts of man Gods wisdom revealed in a holy plan A chance to unite the past With the brother's coming home at last Fighting together for light To Zion we roam and we're not all alone Unite and purify What I'm fighting for Is worth far more than silver and gold What I'm fighting for Is a chance to unite the past With the brother's coming home at last Fighting together for light To Zion we roam and we're not all alone Unite and purify What I'm fighting for

We're the reflection of imperfection We come from the infinite place of limitation Rejoice in these days, make a correction We're the completion Lights out, down for the count, and can't get up Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck And the legs of the king are dangling in a rut Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut We're not alone in the madness If we're here, then so are you Deepest caverns underground We've been digging for the truth Scrape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles Only one who'll get us out of this mess The one who put us here I've got a spear driven through my ear Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear Pistols crashing chandeliers Long for brooks of water like the deer A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man Planting seeds, they won't sink in I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed From one into a billion disperse Wisdom rains like water from heaven to below Crush my earth, seeds sow, garden start to grow You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow You can't keep staring out the window Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher Spark igniter, fighting tired Stay wired, enlighten loads Stay alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by Rise to the occassion Keep these hearts all blazin Build your life on a river of wax Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning, not going away Not going away A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man

Mist rising on the horizon Listenin' with my ears and listenin' with my eyes and Listenin' until we've ridden the mud from the parasite Listenin' until our hearts start to glisten, realize Share the vision and my rhythms and we'll melt the ice Start sizzlin', spilling from the ceiling, bread dripping, drizzling Close to the broken-heart, them crushed in spirit Redeem the soul of your servant Seek his, pursue it Keep the sparkle in your eyes Oh you know, we're not gon' die, like flyin' Soul times for the times when we'll stay unified The eyes of Hashem are to the righteous and he hears their Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Jerusalem breathes, bringin' me ease from the Brooklyn squeeze Dirty boppin' and ah bring ya down to ya knees Trap ya like a lion, not gone, fi leave me be When they come with their disease to drag us into the street My law is still pure, you can't take that from me Three thousand years until this last century Impossible to break the seal of the High Priest Yo, I say the branches on the trees gon' bow to these Swaying to the melodies Craving for the slaves to bring redemption please I am you, you are me No more leaders, we must flee We want see God in our enemy Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby
