SHUT THE DOOR
Shut the door, shouted by a leader within
Against the son of the soil, claim to be all powerful
Powerful enough to face, the lion face to face he claimed
Forgetting his ancestral shrine is right in the homeland
Running back to the calling of his ancestors, but he resisted
The answer to his ancestral call, he was living in ignorance
Ignorance to satisfy, the pleasure he can't deviate from
Now he has unveiled a new chapter, a chapter the world would
Always live to remember, never portray to be what you're not
For times? Unveil it all, favor the deeds, but time never changes
For Karma is that patient gangster, waiting to serve your MENU
There comes a great thunderstorm and lighting in the sky
Day time became night, scientist would call it eclipse
Roaring; how dare you stop my messenger, a man on a mission
Mission to literates his people, absolute freedom and justice as he roars
There came a great chaos and trembling within the city
Thunderstorm and lighting, without no cover to hide under
Louder it became, scared beholds the heart of the people
No place to hide, high in the sky, the hollering continues
There came trembling and falling at the return of the neglected
Osolobrughwre to be precise, the rejected stone, now the chief
Corner stone, very undisputed, never to be disputed
Signs everywhere... The heart of men trembling, a great roar in the sky
What a mighty God he serve, lamented by the people, they concurred
Here comes a new leader, announced by the spiritual leader
He's the man of the mantle, now the leader plotting assassination
Trying to assassinate his successor, without hesitating or contemplating
Amidst the protection over him, any and everywhere he goes
There comes the wrath of his God upon him, begged for mercy
Mercy is not for the wicked in acts and deeds, for every one watches
Evil prevails, when good people seize, from taking actions
Words to ponder over without another opposing another
We all can achieve our goals, only if we believe in us
And all we have to offer, bravely standing for what is truth
Truth liberates, sets the teller free, leaves the hearer amazed
Imagining what facts serve, at the table of life, knowledge is power
Power is deceitful, without applied wisdom.
