Lyrics

Das, Savale,
Pandit Ami
Bidrohi! I the
Rebel Warrior
I have risen alone
With my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed no longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor no longer rings in battle
Hear my warcry!
I'm hear to teach you a lesson
I'm hear to torture your soul
I'm the itch in your side
That's got out of control '
Gonna prey on your conscience
You'll be praying for forgiveness
Seen all the evidence
No longer need a witness
So take my word man
Here's my sentence
One hundred thousand years of repentance.
Check my anger, it's real
Ain't no token
I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken
It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire
Man I'll be building you a funeral pyre
The fire in my eyes
If looks coulda kill
I won't be satisfied until
I've had my fill.
Check my anger, it's real
Ain't no token
I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken
Ami Bidrohi!
I the Rebel
Warrior I have risen alone
With my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed no longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor no longer rings in battle
Hear my warcry!
Repetitive beats beating against your skull
I'll be striking you down to the sounds of the wardrum
The doum!
The doum of the dhol taking its toll
Null and void is what you've become
An underground army with my brothers and sisters
Hand to hand fighting building up a resistance
Repetitive beats beating against your skull
Null and void is what you've become
Ami Bidrohi!
I the Rebel
Warrior I have risen alone
With my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed no longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor no longer rings in battle
Hear my warcry!
I read the commitments
Strange alliance
The siren and the flute in unison '
Cos it's a part of my mission to break down division
Mental compartments
In political prisons.
I'll be sowing the seeds of community
Accomodating every colour every need
So listen to my message and heed my warning
I'm telling you know how a new age is dawning
Ami Bidrohi!
I the Rebel
Warrior I have risen alone
With my head held high
I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed no longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor no longer rings in battle
Hear my warcry!
Ami Bidrohi!
Ami Bidrohi!
Yes the unity of the
Hindu and the
Muslim will end your tyranny
Ami Bidrohi!
Ami Bidrohi!
