It was a hard task
|
To take on
|
|
To make us all believe
|
|
To rescue us from evil cause
|
They wanted to achieve
|
Avenge to gain respect
|
Defend ourselves to the end
|
Patriots of dark continent
|
I give all of my confidence
|
Redemption
|
|
(2) Weh dem gone

|
weh dem deh
|
|
Tribute to the martyrs
|
Which part dem gone
|
A weh dem deh, Heh
|
When Martyrs died they save our lives
|
They had an early grave
|
Sacrifice has taken place
|
For the chosen race heh
|
(2) Which part dem gone
|
Which part dek ...
|
|
There was one they crucified
|
Dead man tell no tales
|
There were some they hung so high
|
We know the reason why
|
Caught, and tried, bound and beat
|
Locked, locked away inside
|
But won their war of words
|
Patriots lost their lives
|
Yet no-one cries
|
The whole world stands accused.
|
|
(2) Which part dem gone
|
Which part dem deh
|
|
A multitude of people
|
Dem try dem best to convince
|
Only to capture the heart of a few
|
The truth you can't dismiss
|
They are telling me silent waters run deep
|
So their knowledge I'II always seek
|
They are telling me,
|
A nation without its past history
|
Is like a tree without roots
|
|
(2) Which part dem gone
|
Which part dem deh ...
|
|
Best to strike when irons hot,
|
It will not bend when cold....
|
Not to late to learn my friend
|
Wisdom ripes with old age, if you got it
|
Now wake up you distressed, yeh yeh yeh
|
Under, under oppressor man affliction
|
Hell fire can't be quenched with water no sah!
|
Though it once had a dreadful shower of rain
|
We who are blessed they just can't put us under
|
Martyrs golden text is bondage never again
|
If not by free will it then by force
|
Break the bondage plot that course.
|
|
Remember.........
|
Message preach to all, you hear something
|
Doctrine for the soul, you feel something
|
The story has been told, you know something
|
Now answer, martyrs call, do something -
|
Prophesise the fall
|
Backs against the wall no more, be something
|
|
(2) Which part dem gone
|
Which part dem deh
