Cloaked Guerilla LyRicS..

Dispatch




flick the latch
Well catch a beam of light




Mind stream Dream Katch
In a meadow




Kick drum echo migrated freddo
This aint all night long
where Mingus and Brubeck play Othello




Caucasianality




With boundless plains to share
Came by air not by see
Invading English army, Dissed Biami
Slay blood bottle brush beat the rush to stay,
Spear in heart rock art fading away,
Cloaked Guerilla Island melee
Acting senior officer




resistance leader Pemulwuy
equipped with spirit magic and a
Weapons array




when the machines war horn blow the call
the forest dwellers come out to fray
Heart stopped




uprising blocked the butterfly flap came back
sniper locked,
hacked skull cracked
Aint no mystic journey




where the ball and chain now ya ancestries free




when ya win the war ya get to write History




.
Cloaked Guerilla Island Melee
Thank you come again or migrate back to the UK




Cloaked Guerilla Island Melee
wanna go back in time and give Indigenous warriors some Aks
Cloaked Guerilla Island Melee

Still go to church ya temple and mosque to pray for the day
the minority out way English breakfast tea, Hyper reality




cave mentality minus demi-god complexity
treachery and lies
Balanda sorcery




But the same re-occurring delusion occurred
fact and fiction the line it gets blurred
puzzled by cycles dislodging a rifle
sonic boomerang attacking the herd
Earth Fires burn long




now the weak are strong
when that 7th trumpet blows




then you really know its on say
land lives culture completely lost
reparation can you cover the cost
just the same as displaced Jews after the holocaust
50,000 years glossed over and replaced with a cross




knowledge contested, western interest vested
homogeneous world view vs. the new manifested
readers digested public opinion swing and hit ya
marginalised community quickly become a standing militia




notes...
-Balanda: is the Yolngu word for white person
-Freddo: is a neo-ethnic word used to described a person who is brown on the outside but think/wish they were a different color inside




- The spelling of guerilla, with one 'r' was chosen for this song.
