Far & Wide - Atuun Dioji

My newest reggae joint, as my reggae artist alter ego, Atuun Dioji. Vid could be better, but its all good...it's the music that matters...and I'm really feeling this song. ;o)

Artist note - A "fire in Babylon" is anything that works toward the demise of this system of maximum harm in which we all live in. Growing your own food or supporting local food growers, is a fire in Babylon. Quitting your bullshit corporate job and starting or joining a tribal enterprise of some sort, is a fire in Babylon. Helping to preserve and protect an indigenous culture and language, is a fire in Babylon. Teaching your kids a better way of thinking and living, is a fire in Babylon. Starting an actual fire in Babylon, in some cases, can also be a fire in Babylon. ;op

Lyrics:
As they are shaken awake
This change starts taking shape
More slaves are breaking away
This culture of hate is wasting away
And we're taking its place
Embracing our fate
We're raising this flame
And it's blazing away
These fires in Babylon spread
And we're growing braver day by day
Goddamn it feels so right
Like a blind man given sight
Resist and fight as this system might
Only death it'll find as it grips for life
My friends, a spark ignites
Bringing an end to the darkest night
But don't sit tight, it is far from bright
That's why gotta spread it far and wide

We struggle day and night
In these heartless times
But in our hearts and minds
We know we'll find freedom
Though it's hard to find
Because we know that with Jah light
We make it thru the darkest night
And we ah fight, said we ah fight
To spread this fire far and wide

Listen up, we no fuck around
We're gonna burn Babylon
To the fucking ground
Nah we no fuck around
We're gonna burn Babylon
To the fucking ground

(Chorus)

It started as a simple spark
Now we will not rest
Until we get rid of the dark
We gotta fight, yes we gotta fight
With all of our might
To finish what start
We cannot allow ourselves
To doubt ourselves
And stay up in this hell hole
How can we be proud of ourselves
If we sell out ourselves
Sell our souls
What we aggo tell our pickney (kids)
If we let Babylon
Turn the whole Earth to city

The natural world, we can't live without it
And it ah die if we do nothing about it
The world's hanging by a thread, don't doubt it
Babylon won't stop until it's dead
We can't allow it
Lies them ah tell, but the truth
We ah found it
The fire we ah spread
Until Babylon's surrounded

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

Oneluv! Respect!

She is certainly the architect of her own fate. Should wash her mouth out with sopa and water.

@ItsFilthy Yeah man, is SO good to see you again, i've been imagining you in the mysterious wilderness

@donHooligan - I know what you mean, brother...if I had any more idle time to think right now, I'd be in trouble. Busy is very good for me right now! But man...I am so tired of putting on a pound of clothes everytime I go outside...I'll take eerie! Haha...but yeah, I know what you mean...it's a bizarre change. Though I prefer warmer climates...I can do shorts and t-shirt in February, all day long! ;op
