Dan will be a snake by the roadside
A viper along the path
That bites the horses heels so that its rider tumbles back
A flame goes forth from his mouth
You will be completely wiped out
I will bring evil upon you out of your own house
I killed you with the words of my mouth
Chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down
Your bodies will lie there rotting on the ground
Your blood will be poured out into the dust
Full of every kind of wickedness
Will also bring on you every kind of sickness
Kill men and women, children and infants
Break them with a rod of iron
Emotion taking over lashing out and spitting fire
Murdered a man and seized his property
Dash them to pieces like pottery
Bull will not be held responsible
Treated our sister like a prostitute
What's the use of living a righteous life, how will it benefit me?
What's the use of living a righteous life, how will it benefit me?
The streets echo the cries: violence, rape!
Victims bleeding and moaning lie all over the place
The streets echo the cries: violence, rape!
Like a lion in cover, he lies in wait
I used a donkey's jawbone to kill a thousand men
Beat him with his jawbone over and over again
Even if you beat fools half to death
You still can't beat their foolishness out of them
For David had said to him
"Your blood be on your own head
Your own mouth testified against you when you said
He captures the helpless and drags them off in his net
He even destroyed distant relatives and friends
Give yourself no relief, your eyes no rest
They are guilty of a capital offence
I will fill your mountains with the dead
Like a maniac shooting flaming arrows of death!"
Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble
Lying there, dead with a tent peg through his temple?
When they saw the man, fled from him and were dreadfully afraid
Before them the people writhe in pain
All faces drained of colour
Like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb
With its flesh half eaten away
Hearts melt in horror, and mere shame
Have no mercy on helpless babies!
Every time I open my mouth I'm shouting murder and rape
It will be a terrible day
Sin creates
Killing even your brothers, friends and neighbours
They will writhe like a woman in labour
And if they give birth I will slaughter
Their beloved children bringing a sudden flow of
Blood and water
And if your children do survive to grow up
I will take 'em from ya
The streets echo the cries: violence, rape!
Victims bleeding and moaning lie all over the place
The streets echo the cries: violence, rape!
Like a lion in cover he lies in wait
Happy shall he be
That takes and dashes your little ones against a stone
Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those he killed, go!
Will it keep begging you for mercy?
Will it?!
I'd grab it by the throat
And kill it!
Kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man
Chop 'em up like meat for the pan
Tore forty two of the children to pieces
Like flesh for the pot
Throw 'em away like a menstrual cloth
Make their flesh rot and their eyes fall from their sockets
And their tongues drop out drink, get drunk, and vomit
Come let us face each other in battle
Release wild animals that'll kill your children
And destroy your cattle
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword
Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped
By the attacking horde
Happy shall he be
That takes and dashes your little ones against a stone
Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those he killed, go!
The streets echo the cries: violence, rape!
Victims bleeding and moaning lie all over the place
The streets echo the cries: violence, rape!
Like a lion in cover he lies in wait
