Prophesy

Nitin Sawhney Prophesy Lyrics
1.Sunset

If i were never to leave you
If i were always alone
If i would never to see you
If i could set the sun
If i could set the sun

Keep moving
Keep changing
Keep flowing in the sun
Lovers rise
Oceans rise
People rise in the sun

If i were never to leave you
If i were always alone
If i would never to see you
If i could set the sun
If i could set the sun

Tears falling
Right falling
Leaves a falling in the sun
Lives drifting
Seas drifting
Worlds drifting with the sun

If i were never to leave you
If i were always alone
If i were never to receive you
If i could set with the sun

If i
Never to leave here
If i
Always alone
If i

(if i)
Oceans rise
Vapors rise
(if i)
People rise
With the sun
Oceans rise
(if i)
Vapors rise
People rise
With the sun


2.Nothing

Nothing you'd have to say can be heard
Nothing helps me me find my way empty worlds
No more will i question why what we feel
Nothing left to make me try nothing's real

Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me

If my nothing here resides inside me
I have nothing left to hide could be free
No more clinging to this world nothing here
Insecurity unfolds no more fear

Fear no one
No more fear
Nothing
No more fear
No one
No more fear
Nothing hides in me

Feeling cuts me like a knife and who's to say
If we've everything in life find our way
And there's nothing i have found nothing more
But in the space inside my mind i open doors

Just no one
Open doors nothing
Open doors no one
Open doors nothing hides


3.Aquired Dreams


4.Nothing More

Feeling cuts me like a knife and who's to say
If we've everything in life we find our way
And there's nothing i have found nothing more
But in the space inside my mind i open doors

Just no one
Open doors nothing
Open doors no one
Open doors nothing hides

6.Street Guru(Part 1)

They've incorporated their culture and their values in the city
and they've enriched the city
Both like, from uh, you know a work ethic. you know the
restaurants and the music and it's really a diverse city
I mean you walk through the vany oven yu-you know you go through
korean neighborhoods,
Old jewish neighborhoods, arab big neighborhoods, uh,
pakistani-indian neighborhoods.
It's incredible. the intensity... i think yeah, development has
pushed us away from other people.
You know, a lot of times people are rude because they want like
immediate access or immediate information.
You know some things in life can't be immediate, sometimes you
gotta wait and let things happen
People are like increasingly rude. like i'll say someone will
get in a cab, we'll say 'i'll get em there in 5 minutes.'
And they'll say, 'it should only take 3.' now who gives a shit
if it takes 5 minutes or 3 minutes, who cares?
At the end of your life nobody's gonna put shit i got in a cab
in fi-seven minutes instead of three.
It doesn't matter technology has made us slaves of the time.
Naw, a lot of people that are really have technical jobs they're
slaves to time.
Time's the essences of life it seems like. and they're basically
like losing it
They're losing the essence of their life because, you know,
their life is like just going away and,
Their not enjoying it because their so engrossed in efficiency
and productivity and shit like that.
It's almost sad. they all come here from somewhere else like
seeking their fame and fortune or,
Their tap jobs and they're and caree-you know, in their in their
industries.
They get very engrossed in it and they into these you know these
cell phones and computers
And i think the real important things in life are you know,
people and your family.
I think you don't realize that, a lot of people don't realize
that until they're older.
I think there's going to be a backlash against technology.


7.The Preacher

The seal of prophesy
Between the darkness and the light
Everyone must choose
Universal blues
Wisdom is the key
To the heart of the prophesy
The seal of prophesy
Messengers have come and gone
The struggle goes on
Synagogue temple mask church
Each and evey place we search
The seal of prophesy
Old ones will see visions
Young ones will dream dreams
Time of change conditions
Til nothing as it seems
The seal of prophesy

The seal of prophesy
Everyone must choose
Universal blues
Universal blues
Universal blues


8.Breathing Light

The fighting was the heaviest you've seen in sarajevo.
As the police station commanded by officers loyal to the muslim
government imprisoned ??.
Men tried to find what cover they could asbullets literally
kicked around them.

We are free to be freed.


9.Developed

Everything austrailian should be able to, uh,
Keep their culture together by using or exercising all these
elements of today's reality.
And that reality is development.
And that, that development um, i would think is the way it
should be right.
Not something that, uh, is put upon us or forced down our
throats.
You and i know that music is a universal language.
And, uh, it doesn't have any prejudice. it has one of thinking.
Without prejudice, without prejudice, without prejudice...


10.Footsteps


11.Walk Away

???
Have you looked for steps drawn across the glade
I flew all night i couldn't get in
Rain all night i was soaked to the skin
???
Have you looked for steps drawn across the glade
Watch my breath turn into steam
Soft as eyes rolled in
???
Have you looked for steps drawn across the glade
???????????
???
Have you looked for steps drawn across the glade

More ways than one
More ways than one(repeated til end)


12.Cold & Intimate

You see me walk
You see me fall
You touch the tears upon my face
I taste your world
I smell you fear
I feel your bitter sweet embrace
Nothing mentioned nothing gained
Your here and then your gone
Yet complications keep me sane
We cold and intimate

I watch the news
I hear your words
I smell the lies beneath your smile
You hesitate you deviate
>from pictures filled with silence
Nothing mentioned nothing gained
Your here and then your gone
A simple world appears insane
We cold and intimate

A search within
We search without
We touch the corners of our minds
We play our lives
Deceive our friends
We taste the fruit of our own lies
Pointless ventures
Endless games
We wonder here at all
Nothing in this world can change
Only cold and intimate


13.Street Guru(Part 2)

You see me walk
You see me fall
You touch the tears upon my face

I think there's going to be a backlash against technology.
You know, i don't know what's gonna cause it.
I hope it won't be any environmental disaster shit, you know,
for sure for my kids that wanna live a better life.
Not so much materially but i want a piecefull life.
You know sometimes it's good just to go in the woods and just go
hiking and get back in touch with yourself and nature.
You know, then you come back here and you realize that this is
like,
Ludacris all this emphasis on technology and 50 different
internet devices and shit and internet devices you can put in
your pocket.
Sometimes i feel threatened by it but you know, that's the
future and i am a man of the past.
You know, i'm a, i'm a low-tech man in a high-tech world. i mean
it's fact man.
I'm a low-tech man in a high-tech world there ain't shit i can
do about it because,
You know, the world's changing and i'm not and you know, maybe i
don't wanna change.
Maybe the people i associassate with are like me.
You know, what's going on we can't use our brains
It's being a person
You know it's being a fucking person man


14.Ripping Out Tears

I saw two gun men.
I saw them who had weapons, black masks, black trenchcoats.
I was very frightened.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
Breaker breaker 1 9 in a world full of crime
They got a nine to my spine no time to recline
Sit wine relax and unwind
Time is running out
I'm trying to keep hope alive
President full of jive
My 9 to 5 is the hustle to strive
Born to die and survive at the same time
I gotta analyze what lies beneath genocide
What happen to the freedom ride
Increase the murder rate by suicide

Aiyo goverment plus
Sometimes i think we were born to rot on the block
So many got shot over rocks
While the neighborhood watch the cops and shout
Hope somebody listening
???
But never mention it
On the occassion that's he's slipping in
Man this world is tripping in
Make me wanna sin again
Yo, money sex and religion
Gotta us all standing like still pigeons
I can't take man
Man i'm fully clothed and i feel naked
Walking through these streets of death
Yo man gotta watch the left though
Man it's real sick
I don't know it's like some devilish shit
It's like who making all these cuts
Who wanna see us all rot
I don't know but this shit is sick
It's like disease trick please
I can't take it

Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
Yo what a lady gotta do
Gotta come through shake that ass to get that revenue
Man my mother never knew never had a clue
What this ill game will do
I'm trapped in this rap like living it
Man everyday i'm giving it
Love the god because he made this
I don't know trying to be famous
Man just shooting up
You wonder the jews stay looting up booting up
For the front line
Man gotta speak

Man griddling
Got to keep man griddling
Man this shit just simple and
I can't understand all these demons man
Man griddling
Got to keep man griddling
Man this shit just simple and
I can't understand all these demons man

Cold killing blood stakes spilling
These streets is revealing
Yo we at the last days
Man and i'm trapped in this worldly maze
Looking like man x was just a phase
Now i'm back to my weed smoking stage
Don't let it fuck with your brain
Ease through the pain and maintain
A lot of drug abuse
A lot of prostitutes
A lot of people dying for the loot
A lot of people barely got a roof
A lot of people barely know the truth
I'm like this

Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
Ain't no stopping me the prophesy
I came to fulfill my destiny
