Rebel Warrior

Asian Dub Foundation

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 war cry!



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 kill

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 war cry!



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 it's 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 war cry!
