[Intro: Killah Priest] Darkness, the darkness comes upon the Planet Earth It's time to take out +The Offering+
[Killah Priest] As the sun fades within the horizon The sky Orion is seen clear in the sphere planets alignin' The contrast changes fast in the vast From a pink to dark orange To turnin' darker to a bluish violet Then finally the sky lit up with stars The red one is Mars The same star seein' by the Three Wise Men To find a child lead us out of this blindness And teach man peace, finally his kindness Darkness brings the cold, so that change the climate Stare at my wall, look at my thermometer The red line slowly declinin' Finally the sky's black as a raven wing And slowly flap down upon Earth The place where fiends doin' base Sirens are heard, From Police cars Niggas on wall, their face cut-up wit obese scars From street wars to prison yards Or niggas meetin' they ward The result of niggas livin' hard Gang rivals is all the same as tribal If you're from Africa or you're in Attica If you're a Bushmen or from Brooklyn A nigga stab ya, or shank ya The life of a gangsta That's why often I think seldom I drink Or felon with ink Could make a whole difference to a melon that's blank
(Hook) Give a thug a heart, a gangsta a mind Show a coward courage, we ahead of our time Runnin' toward the future, leavin' the past Blastin' +Through Millenniums+ till we evolve in gas Through bright light, light Christ, white spirits visit Through the night sight, bright light Christ, white spirits Visit street lights, roll dice, soul on ice Travel the globe like spirits, Priest controls the mic
[Killah Priest] I take off my jacket, my shirt, my skin, my flesh, my bones My mind, my spirit, my essence, my soul You asked for it - I gave it From project buildings to the hard pavement From the trees back to the grass To the dirt to the black soil Back to the Earth, right back to the Universe To nothingness, to nothin' exists, just the abyss No light, no sound, nothin' around No up, no down, no sky, no ground But just thought inside a blackness small as a grain of salt Mineral that evolved Full circle till it revolve around planets To finally man landed - upon the Earth canvas Access to the atlas to the Moon shot-up From one of his Grand Canyons, water spill The order revealed that the author was real Then Abraham, Ishmael to Israel Then we learned to kill Then the brothas - the formulate turned steel To block our prayers, forgotten knowledge And +Through Millenniums+ is slowly close our Chakras Now in shootouts over dice games, the Devil pitch fork And the Angels with the white wings, placin' bets over our souls Is it that infinite robe, until that infamous hole All thrones where we hear the instruments of gold
(Hook)
[Killah Priest] They say when life forms; it forms in path that spiral Flickerin' downward, a cosmic light shows Up there in Mars amongst the stars In that distance place beyond Where livin' souls integrates called Heaven Where ether, where I'm headed is deeper It's off the meters of spirits fled from reapers If I lost believers, I bring 'em back thru thoughts I teach 'em I sit wit Romans and their Greek leaders Learned from Egyptians, here is a brief description They're the one with the sun Their energy can outlive infinity No timeline, no calendar Made from the days of Excalibur No trick knowledge or bad math or division or algebra From Kemet to chemistry The mysteries pyramids where I live, no graves No King higher beams, firin' forth from the Heavens Around the Knight in all his Glory The day he fights in battle He stomps upon the bones of the dead Pharaohs Led by shadows, spirits from the black horse runnin' toward the c
