Asian Dub Foundation - Warring Dhol lyrics

Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Striking out from Pakistan 'desh and india Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Every beat is a blow for all of ya Faster than a bullet louder than a bomb against divisions of religion the World is in its song Old times new times it is the soundtrack radical tradition it ain't never lookin' back Carved out of nature roots deeper than deep Original communicator speaking with the beat India Sri Lanka desh and Pakistan One nation one people one it's time to make a stand and bang Rise up the soldier them and bang Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Striking out from Pakistan desh and india Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Every beat is a blow for all of ya Rise up the soldier dem and bang Living in the heart of the city life is raw sometimes Dealer here copper there hooker here don't ever look 'em in the eyes Another youth is shot down better cut and run But then then you hear the secret message hidden in the beat of the drum And it goes Feel the drum is everything to you Listen Can't you hear it talking to you Feel it From from the valleys and rivers flowin under you Feel it as it keeps on pounding through POUNDING THROUGH It is the sound of hallowed ground it marks it out and plays it loud It belongs to everybody it's the rhythm of the crowd
