Linton Kwesi Johnson - Dread Beat An' Blood lyrics

Brothers and sisters rocking A dread beat, pulsing fire, burning Chocolate hour and darkness creeping night Black veiled night is weeping Electric lights consoling, night A small hall soaked in smoke A house of ganja mist Music blazing, sounding, thumping fire, blood Brothers and sisters rocking, stopping, rocking Music breaking out, bleeding out, thumping out fire, burning Electric hour of the red bulb Staining the brain with a blood flow And a bad bad thing is brewing Ganja crawling, creeping to the brain Cold lights hurting, breaking, hurting Fire in the head an a dread beat bleeding, heating fire, dread Rocks rolling over hearts leaping wild Rage rising out of the heat of the hurt And a fist curled in anger reaches a her Then flash of a blade from another to a him Leaps out for a dig of a flesh, of a piece of skin And blood, bitterness, exploding fire, wailing blood, and bleeding
