Rebel Warrior Lyrics

    Written by: das, savale, pandit


    Ami bidrohi!
    I the rebel warrior
    I have risen alone with my head held high
    I will only rest
    When the cries of the oppressed
    No longer reach the sky
    When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
    No longer rings in battle
    Hear my warcry!

    I'm hear to teach you a lesson
    I'm hear to torture your soul
    I'm the itch in your side that's got out of control
    'gonna prey on your conscience
    You'll be praying for forgiveness
    Seen all the evidence
    No longer need a witness
    So take my word man
    Here's my sentence
    One hundred thousand years of repentance.

    Check my anger, it's real
    Ain't no token
    I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken
    It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire
    Man i'll be building you a funeral pyre
    The fire in my eyes
    If looks coulda kill
    I won't be satisfied until i've had my fill.
    Check my anger, it's real
    Ain't no token
    I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken

    Ami bidrohi!
    I the rebel warrior
    I have risen alone with my head held high
    I will only rest
    When the cries of the oppressed
    No longer reach the sky
    When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
    No longer rings in battle
    Hear my warcry!

    Repetitive beats beating against your skull
    I'll be striking you down
    To the sounds of the wardrum
    The doum!
    The doum of the dhol
    Taking its toll
    Null and void is what you've become
    An underground army with my brothers and sisters
    Hand to hand fighting
    Building up a resistance
    Repetitive beats beating against your skull
    Null and void is what you've become

    Ami bidrohi!
    I the rebel warrior
    I have risen alone with my head held high
    I will only rest
    When the cries of the oppressed
    No longer reach the sky
    When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
    No longer rings in battle
    Hear my warcry!

    A radical fusion
    Strange alliance
    The siren and the flute in unison
    'cos it's a part of my mission
    To break down division
    Mental compartments
    Psychological prisons.

    I'll be sowing the seeds of community
    Accomodating every colour every need
    So listen to my message and heed my warning
    I'm telling you know
    How a new age is dawning

    Ami bidrohi!
    I the rebel warrior
    I have risen alone with my head held high
    I will only rest
    When the cries of the oppressed
    No longer reach the sky
    When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
    No longer rings in battle
    Hear my warcry!

    Ami bidrohi! ami bidrohi!
    Yes the unity of the hindu and the muslim
    Will end your tyranny
    Ami bidrohi! ami bidrohi!
