Asian Dub Foundation - Rebel Warrior Lyrics
Written by: das, savale, panditAmi bidrohi!I the rebel warriorI have risen alone with my head held highI will only restWhen the cries of the oppressedNo longer reach the skyWhen the sound of the sword of the oppressorNo longer rings in battleHear my warcry!Im hear to teach you a lessonIm hear to torture your soulIm the itch in your side thats got out of controlgonna prey on your conscienceYoull be praying for forgivenessSeen all the evidenceNo longer need a witnessSo take my word manHeres my sentenceOne hundred thousand years of repentance.Check my anger, its realAint no tokenIll be satisfied only when your backs been brokenIts my burning ambition to burn down your empireMan Ill be building you a funeral pyreThe fire in my eyesIf looks coulda killI wont be satisfied until Ive had my fill.Check my anger, its realAint no tokenIll be satisfied only when your backs been brokenAmi bidrohi!I the rebel warriorI have risen alone with my head held highI will only restWhen the cries of the oppressedNo longer reach the skyWhen the sound of the sword of the oppressorNo longer rings in battleHear my warcry!Repetitive beats beating against your skullIll be striking you downTo the sounds of the wardrumThe doum!The doum of the dholTaking its tollNull and void is what youve becomeAn underground army with my brothers and sistersHand to hand fightingBuilding up a resistanceRepetitive beats beating against your skullNull and void is what youve becomeAmi bidrohi!I the rebel warriorI have risen alone with my head held highI will only restWhen the cries of the oppressedNo longer reach the skyWhen the sound of the sword of the oppressorNo longer rings in battleHear my warcry!A radical fusionStrange allianceThe siren and the flute in unisoncos its a part of my missionTo break down divisionMental compartmentsPsychological prisons.Ill be sowing the seeds of communityAccomodating every colour every needSo listen to my message and heed my warningIm telling you knowHow a new age is dawningAmi bidrohi!I the rebel warriorI have risen alone with my head held highI will only restWhen the cries of the oppressedNo longer reach the skyWhen the sound of the sword of the oppressorNo longer rings in battleHear my warcry!Ami bidrohi! ami bidrohi!Yes the unity of the hindu and the muslimWill end your tyrannyAmi bidrohi! ami bidrohi!
