Lord Of The Light Lyrics - Talib Kweli

They're sellswords 

We're willing to use blood magic to put you on the throne, but we're not willing to pay men to fight? I've never heard of visions and prophecies winning a war. Soldiers win wars. Soldiers on the ground. It's dirty on the ground 

The night is dark and it's full of terrors 

Where your heart, nigga, where your courage? 

I was buildin' with the older guy, he said you act like you know it all 

All praise to one true God 

How you know if you alive if you don't got a few scars? 

These cowards in power enforcin' these new laws 

No respect for the poor people fightin' they wars 

When I pull out my sword, put away lemon cake cutters 

Keep my blade covered with the blood of the fakes 

So just take daughters and they kill fathers and they rape mothers 

They just make lovers out of their brothers for the great other 

And it's dirty on the ground 

Half of Flea Bottom never balls to the brown 

Say it's all for the gold when the poachers come around 

You can smell the dead way before the vultures come around 

Soldiers comin' back after the battle 

Still gotta face the fear of the unknown 

Daughters and they sons grown 

Then they gotta explain why they been gone 

Took a man from his family just to get home 

Lord of light to ya'll 

Lord of the light 

Lord of light to ya'll 

Lord of the light 

Let's go, let's

Shadows are created by the light 

So that's when we fight for our freedom 

That's the battle for our lives 

We stickin' out our tongue, we never fight 

This why the arguments of the day is the violence of the night 

Respect and fear ain't the same so they get it confused 

See the vision when you're starin' in the flame 

In this game of thrones, when you win you still lose 

Cause your evil get a say when they chearin' your name 

And they prayin' on your weakness 

Cause they playin for keepers 

And they slayin' all your leaders 

Now your people face disease and famine 

And fuck the king cause we famished 

That's why the brothers that I roll with don't be waving no banners 

Warriors for the cause and we raisin' a family 

And when it's time to exact revenge 

Have a son, come back from the dead 

Look to the light yo 

The protector of the realm and the citadel 

Living in squalor while the rich people livin' well 

I'm seein' they enjoying they seven Heavens 

Almost like they forgot about the seven Hells
