Murderer

Babylon system spin like vulture ‘pon rot,

Yuh pull di trigger – but soul cyan be bought,

Casket shut tight, still dem hear yuh thoughts,

Di wages of sin nah vanish ‘pon court…

Di gun whisper sweet, but it tongue fulla venom,

Yuh hide ‘hind **block** (*replaced "concrete"*), but di mirror condemn,

Earth cry fi justice – volcano deh stem,

Yuh coffin nah hold di weight of di gem…

**[Chorus – YOUR VERSION]**

*"Murderer! Blood is on your shoulder,*

*Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow,*

*Murder! Your insides must be hollow,*

*How does it feel to take a life?"*

Yuh tink yuh escape thru di backroad night?

Di raven dem circle – dem si yuh plight,

Di widow she bawl, but yuh sleep tight,

Till di rope tighten ‘round yuh neck – ah, hindsight…

Dutty heart nah beat clean – drum nah lie,

Siren deh pon yuh trail like hawk ‘pon fly,

Yuh run to di east, but guilt deh westside,

Judgment day come fi ride up yuh driveway…

Murderer…

Shoulder heavy…

Yuh cyan outrun…
