Hold The Hand Of Vengeance
We overran the barricades
And breached the palace walls.
Remembering the shackles,
The masses called,
"Put them to the sword
To ease the heavy load."
Hold the hands of vengeance
We are not who they are.
Guide me through the peace.
I have seen too many wars.
Hold me, oh Jah, You are all.
Hold me, lest I stumble and fall.
We are not armed with the truth
To travel down that road,
Fat on lies and loot,
Like souls of dust,
Tempting the universe
To turn around and slay us.
What they stole from us
Is the essence of their cups.
Unsatiated by rivers of blood
They worked the media,
Conjuring savior leaders,
Firmly rooted in the notion
That mud yesterday was today's gold.
They crowned their guilt in gold
And called it legacy.
But we remember the silence
That buried our dignity.
No anthem can erase
The tremble in our bones.
We rise not for revenge-
But to reclaim our own.
Hold the hands of vengeance
We are not who they are.
Guide me through the peace.
I have seen too many wars.
Hold me, oh Jah, you are all.
Hold me, lest I stumble and fall.
