Revolution


He who seeks his now life
Shall lose his next life
For without the shedding of blood
There can be no revolution
This is not about dying
It’s about dying to live
It’s about looking up and
Beyond the decay that
You have been forced to endure
And seeing the life you adore
Within your reach
Yet, out of reach…

A life which bleeds value
Will lay intense pursuit
Behind the curtains of blood,
Of the things which give it worth
And though that life don’t wanna die
Yet it will not profess a lie
It will stand and stare death down
Rather than take a bow
That life will never stop giving
Though it’s got nothing left to give

That’s the life
That sparks a revolution
That the life
That can’t witness corruption
Even if it dies
Its seeds sprout a million lives

It cannot thrive in slavery
It will not strive with drudgery
What it wants it fights for
Cause that’s what gives it worth
A life that looks beyond death
Because it’s stronger than death

That’s the life not scared of revolution
That’s the life that liberates a nation.

Silence Of The Drum-House



Silence so weighed down with load
That it would crack an ego
Has been impregnated
She has delivered death
Into the bosom of the earth
The deep heart’s core veneers a hearth
Billows of blinding smoke
Intervolving hate and faith choke
The humpty dumpty club
This is where the buck stops
Hear what the thunder said
The weak of heart shall not be spared
Silence will expose the hypocrite
A tied tongue will pronounce treason.

I Have Seen The Wind

I have seen the wind
It’s neither you nor I
But look up a Sudanese
In a march of no compromise

I have seen the wind
Don’t let it pass you by
We’re tearing down this tyranny
And we’re taking it outside

I have seen the wind
A hurricane hath no fury
It’s blowing change birthing new life
You best not get left behind

I have seen the wind
It beckons you and I
To help the Sudanese
Translate a dream into life.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Fight

Sudan's 'Millions March' against military rule

Do not go gentle into that good fight
For your redemption draweth nigh
By default or by design
You just peaked Africa’s pride

Joy comes in the morning
If you keep your shit tight
Clip the claws of tyranny
Discharge your widow’s mite

Do not go gentle into that good fight
Stand strong as one people
Pump your fists in the sky
Champion this struggle
Keep your eyes on the prize.
