The Gang - Warrior Poet lyrics

His scars Are reminders Of the bite From the silver teeth Of the white monkey Of the silent lands Of the sweat Of the slavers And of the truce Completed SEIZE THE TIME No surrender At the street A Shout His age at the cross The dawn emerges Over the edge of the town Where the lashes Fall in obeyance with The lei of the law And the hangman cavers The name of the new king On the monkey idols SEIZE THE TIMES No surrender He goes out Wandering In the alleys of Consciousness Lookin' for his hourse While party jesters Throw stones At his Leopard skin SEIZE THE TIME No surrender With the positive style Of the bleeding word Like the thunder That warns of the storm He shouts from the microphone Of the Anger to the Terror The jazz messenger Is in town SEIZE THE TIME No surrender
