Tribute To The Martyrs - Steel Pulse

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
