Follow Marcus Garvey (2002 Remastered Version) - Burning Spear

Now that I know that the right time has come My prediction will surely be true The impending disaster it looms And the whole of the village is doomed Why won't you listen to me It is so hard to understand That I am the real seventh son Your life or death on me depends Suffering and pain impending disaster Souls crying the devil's laughter Heard the cry of the seven whistlers Lucifer smiles looks on and waits I'll take your life in my hands Your fate your fortune's in my visions Heed what I say and you'll see What will be Please listen to me Now that they see the disaster is done Now they put all the blame unto me They feel I brought on a curse Don't they know that the torment It stays with me knowing that I walk alone Through the eyes of the future I see They don't even know what fear is Don't they know I'm the one who is cursed Purgatory beckons souls lost forever Life after death or heaven hereafter Heard the call of the seven whistlers again Now Lucifer laughs hell awaits I had their lives in my hands Their fate their fortunes in my visions No one believed in my true prophecy And now it's too late

Hanging by a thread as I play dead Hanging by a thread and my mind is code red Cut and run, try to hide, get away Shut my eyes just to hide from the fate Cut and run, try to hide, get away Cover up, get shelter from the hate Demonized, liquified, tranquilized Prophesied just to hide from life Night and day, led astray in decay Come what may, not to face that fight Seething, breathing Nightmares grow On I run, still my shadows follow Never can I stop 'cause they hunt me Never can I stop 'cause the beast is hungry Like a wolf on the hunt, stalking prey Closing in, no, it won't let me be Like a wolf on the hunt, stalks a prey Any cost, fulfill a destiny Seething, fast breathing Nightmares grow On I run, still my shadows follow On I run, but still my shadows follow Cut and run, hide away from fate Cover up, try to hide the hate Like a wolf, it won't let me be Closing in, wish away, shut my eyes Wish it away Seething, fast breathing Nightmares grow On I run, still my shadows follow Facing my demons, now I know If I run, still my shadows follow I say no! Still my shadows follow

All these things I could not say Made me so much more afraid Just too scared of what I'd find To look behind, to look behind All these things I could not say Made me so much more afraid Just too scared of what I'd find To look behind, to look behind If you go, there's no turning back If you go, there's no turning back If you go, there's no turning back There's no turning back (no, no, no, no, no, no) No, no turning back No, no turning back No, no turning back No, no turning back All these things I could not say Made me so much more afraid Just too scared of what I'd find To look behind All of these things I could not say Made me so much more afraid Just too scared of what I'd find To look behind, can't look behind

You know who I am, he said The speaker was an angel He coughed and shook his crumpled wings Closed his eyes and moved his lips It's time we should be going (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, driven by the night Till you come (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, see it in my eyes Till you come No one seemed to hear him So he leafed through a magazine And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away Very sane he seemed to me (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, driven by the night Till you come (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, feel it in my voice Till you come (Waiting so long, ahhh...) (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (Waiting so long, ahhh...)

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
