Chalice In The Dust

Intro
Mi light de chalice where di ruins lie,
Where riddim sleep and spirits cry.
Mi chant nuh loud — mi chant deep…
Fi wake de dub dat Babylon keep.

Verse 1
Mi footstep soft pon forgotten land,
Mi voice stir ashes wid Jah hand.
Ganja smoke curl like memory vine,
Mi breath uncover de sacred line.

Di stone remember mi father name,
Di wind still carry di Nyabinghi flame.
Mi nuh come fi fight, mi come fi feel —
Fi let di dub talk what time conceal.

Chorus
CHALICE INNA DUST, BUN SO LOW,
MI CALL DI ROOT FROM LONG AGO.
ONE PUFF FI TRUTH, ONE CHANT FI SKY,
MI DUB REACH PLACE WHERE SOUND CYAN’T DIE.

Verse 2
Mi sit ‘pon rock wid chalice cup,
Each draw bring ancient riddim up.
Mi eye dem close, but mi sight dem wide,
Mi hear de drum where spirits hide.

Mi nuh need rhythm — mi become sound,
Mi word curl deep down underground.
Mi thought ride breeze across di sand,
Mi prayer dig groove Jah cyan command.

Bridge – solemn, hypnotic
Mi nah rush, mi nah roar.
Mi reason wid echo an’ earthcore.
Fi every silence, mi leave a spark.
Fi every shadow, mi chant a mark.

Final Chorus
CHALICE INNA DUST, LIGHT STILL GLOW,
MI PLANT ONE DUB WHERE NOTHING GROW.
ANCIENT RIDDIM WAKE SO SLOW —
BUT ONCE IT RISE… IT NEVER GO.
