Warring Dhol

Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier

Striking out from Pakistan 'desh and india

Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier

Every beat is a blow for all of ya

Faster than a bullet louder than a bomb

against divisions of religion the World is in its song

Old times new times it is the soundtrack

radical tradition it ain't never lookin' back

Carved out of nature roots deeper than deep

Original communicator speaking with the beat

India Sri Lanka desh and Pakistan

One nation one people one it's time to make a stand and bang

Rise up the soldier them and bang

Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier

Striking out from Pakistan desh and india

Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier

Every beat is a blow for all of ya

Rise up the soldier dem and bang

Living in the heart of the city life is raw sometimes

Dealer here copper there hooker here don't ever look 'em in the eyes

Another youth is shot down better cut and run

But then then you hear the secret message hidden in the beat of the drum

And it goes

Feel the drum is everything to you

Listen Can't you hear it talking to you

Feel it From from the valleys and rivers flowin under you

Feel it as it keeps on pounding through POUNDING THROUGH

It is the sound of hallowed ground it marks it out and plays it loud

It belongs to everybody it's the rhythm of the crowd
