Dread Man Walkin...an no-body gave a damn...
Dread Man Walkin...headin for the Mother-land..
an as they call for peace / from behind hearts cold as ice /
another Brother takes de walk / pockets just a little too light /
an justice is a tra-ves-ty / before my very Soul /
visions of His Maj-es-ty / as a Dread Man walks a-lone...
late one night, they came for him /
de guns were all in place /
he kissed an angel sleepin /

visions of His Ma-jes-ty / as a Dread Man walks a-lone...
jury find him guilty /
of a thing he's never done /
an Mother Af-ri-ca cries one more tear /
for another ransomed Son /
an a Young Man loses his Life /
as de judge takes a 'bite out of crime' /
and dis one never makes de papers /
but it STILL happens so many times...
