...CHANT A PSALM... by Steel Pulse
-------------------...............
*from 'True Democracy' (1982)*
Intro:
(x2)
Verse 1:
Re-joice, re-joice; good tidings I bring you.
Hear ye; a message to you my friend.
Voi-ces cry, invoke your angels,
When pressure drop, it cannot conquer dread, no.
So blow a-way your bluesy feeling.
Spirits say; take the world off your shoulder.
One foot in the grave; a foolish step to take.
Who sow in tears, shall reap in joy.
Wise man doctrines, assure your safety,
No more stumbling block; back stabbers get down.
To the righteous revealed, the secret of the scriptures.
The wicked dem portion is vanity, dis-ciples of Lucifer...
Bridge 1:
In your hands, lie your destination,
The book of true life; you hold the key.
Mystical powers, to you unfold,
Seek ye the half that has never been told.

Verse 2:
(n.)
I reach ya, I reach ya, I reach ya,
Reach in a vision, yeh, come on.
Come walkies down easy street.
Attract these angels in dreams and your prayers.
Remember the Three Holy Children,
Remember the visions of Daniel,
Remember the magic of Moses, so;
So dash a-way your bluesy feeling.
Spirits say; take the world off your shoulder.
One foot in the grave; a foolish step to take.
Who sow in tears, shall reap in joy.
When pressure drop, it cannot conquer dread, no.

Woe be-tide for the wicked dis-ciples of Lucifer...

His father King David, chant, chant.

I want the whole a we fe, chant.
