One To Ten 04:30
ONE TO TEN One for the land in the far circle, minimizing One for the wild trying to survive it One for the virgin forests in decline, Once for Tuvalu sea levels, they’re rising Bong Bong sound of the distant drum drum Awaken your tribe and come, come Fear is the rule of the iron This is the time of the lion Feel nothing but rhythm Love will dissolve all the friction, So Mobilize your soul One for the one who’s living in non-violence One for the warriors of love who guide us One for the heart whose beating out of time yeh, One for the mission to complete the science Hey Hey Oh Oh Powerful, what will you ever do? With the exception to the rule? Earthly children will shout you down, Pull your empires to the ground Mobilize the truth right now, to Bring us around, bring us around! One is the politician talking tongues eh, do do do do Two is the coalition toting guns eh, do do do do Three are the fossils with carbon addiction, do do do do Four is the war we’re funding but its fiction, do do do do Five is the child of indigo and rising, do do do do Six are the tricks that cannot be disguised, da da da da Seven is the heave on earth that we create, do do do do Eight is a wave on the ocean goes forever, do do do do Nine is the whole of creation bound together, do do do do Ten is the thread of universal rhythm, da da da da These are the contradictions of reality These are the contradictions of reality

In My Soul 04:11
IN MY SOUL So many roads, to get to this I took the fall from defiance, learned not too resist Waited for the sun, but it never come Don’t want to be no number, no man made wonder No, no no no no Before this realization I was an imitation Broken bones with a soul in tow, didn’t know what I was living for Oh you know, you can’t bind what’s in my soul Oh you know, you can’t bind what’s in my soul You done the deed now own to it, You wanna be the one with the devil whip You wanna make the whole world dance with it Come dance with it But the sun go up and the sun go down And the world keeps turning round and round Everything you are is made out of stars, all from love Oh you know, you can’t bind what’s in my soul Oh you know, you can’t buy what’s in my soul I know what’s in my soul, we got to save it! I know what’s in my soul, the world gone crazy! I know what’s in my soul, the world is burning! I know what’s in my soul, nobody learning! I know what’s in my soul, baby baby baby baby

Rootsman 03:49
ROOTSMAN Conjured, in the writings of war, A review of a breed of man Conflicts, follows along where the conflicted mind exists Ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah Some say the gun is the only way to realize, true nature But discover inner worth, find your heaven on the earth, you got to let the natural highs engage ya Oh the Rootsman’s any man He keep his spirit on fire He open up and let the waters flow Oh the Rootsman’s any man He put the love in desire He open up and let his feelings show Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Why don’t we be, champions of the free?
Free ourselves from this mental delusion.
The ego’s intrusion is built on illusion
The worlds narcissism is not the solution
Release from the sovereign, release from the worship the caste and the system that deem people worthless The beast in the water, the beast on the land,
Nuclear warfare, the need of contraband,
No need for a kingdom, we got one within, Cos if we continue the darkness will win
and divide us, conquer and divide us conquer and divide us conquer and divide us

On The Run 04:39
ON THE RUN I wanna run, I wanna come I wanna go with you I got to keep my instincts wild But in reality I know the truth If I’m with you I might get taken down Taken down Ghetto bird up in the sun Is out today with a gun Creeping in the air for opportunity To bring you down, break your crown Nothing is wrong, nothing is right At the end of the day we’re losing the fight But I’m still dancing in your fire You keep it real, Real You make me feel, Feel You make me come, Come On the run Eh Eh In the day you go round my head In the night, you’re in my bed You say I’m the queen, I’m your fantasy And that you’ll never never let me be Oh spirit man, it’s more than we said I’m making secrets of all we share And I’m still dancing in your fire. You keep it real, Real You make me feel, Feel You make me come, Come On the run Eh Eh We the rolling stone we never gather no moss If they take you from me, Babylon will pay the cost I am sure the world could pass me by, I would do anything for the dazzle in your eye Blow away the pain you been living Gangster girl said the one you been feeling And I would still lie and cheat, Oh you know you know me if you do it! GO ON! Lock down the place when you hear the siren Let them say you just like me Same devotion and same diversity Them apple never fall far from the tree You keep it real You make me feel Oh you make me come! Come On the run, eh eh You keep it real, Real You make me feel, Feel You make me come, Come On the run Eh Eh Ooh oh ooh oh oh Ooh oh ooh oh oh Ooh oh ooh oh oh Ooh oh ooh oh oh Babylon the capital. Babylon we call home.

Lions 04:57
LIONS The taker, is not the liberator He a conman, an imitator Hold the line now, demonstrator Nothing coming through but a will to contain ya And bait ya, with a lie to inflate ya Catch you on the line, turn you into a beggar And savior is what you’re gonna say When they rebate ya, for selling your soul The heart is the mark, and it lights the thought They invest in fear to keep the world apart Cos if the drones a rat, and the phones are tapped Well, who you gonna turn to when they’re coming in for contact? It’s not coming not coming for one When it comes it gonna come it come for everyone Where’s the lions? All the lions? Where’s the lions? All the lions?
