Asian Dub Foundation - Rebel Warrior lyrics

Written by: das, savale, pandit Ami bidrohi! I the rebel warrior I have risen alone with my head held high I will only rest When the cries of the oppressed No longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor No longer rings in battle Hear my warcry! I'm hear to teach you a lesson I'm hear to torture your soul I'm the itch in your side that's got out of control 'gonna prey on your conscience You'll be praying for forgiveness Seen all the evidence No longer need a witness So take my word man Here's my sentence One hundred thousand years of repentance. Check my anger, it's real Ain't no token I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire Man i'll be building you a funeral pyre The fire in my eyes If looks coulda k** I won't be satisfied until i've had my fill. Check my anger, it's real Ain't no token I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken Ami bidrohi! I the rebel warrior I have risen alone with my head held high I will only rest When the cries of the oppressed No longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor No longer rings in battle Hear my warcry! Repetitive beats beating against your skull I'll be striking you down To the sounds of the wardrum The doum! The doum of the dhol Taking its toll Null and void is what you've become An underground army with my brothers and sisters Hand to hand fighting Building up a resistance Repetitive beats beating against your skull Null and void is what you've become Ami bidrohi! I the rebel warrior I have risen alone with my head held high I will only rest When the cries of the oppressed No longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor No longer rings in battle Hear my warcry! A radical fusion Strange alliance The siren and the flute in unison 'cos it's a part of my mission To break down division Mental compartments Psychological prisons. I'll be sowing the seeds of community Accomodating every colour every need So listen to my message and heed my warning I'm telling you know How a new age is dawning Ami bidrohi! I the rebel warrior I have risen alone with my head held high I will only rest When the cries of the oppressed No longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor No longer rings in battle Hear my warcry! Ami bidrohi! ami bidrohi! Yes the unity of the hindu and the m**m Will end your tyranny Ami bidrohi! ami bidrohi!
