You nuh see how de clou' them jus' came sit upon me dream

came sit upon me dream like a dark silk screen

a dark silk screen over de vision I had seen

vision I had seen, the vision I had seen



So me say that Walter Radni was a victim of hate

someone say that him gone thru heaven's gate

someone that Walter Radni shouldn't tek up his true weight

an' go carry 'pon 'im back like 'im de weary man a rock



But look how de clou' dem jus' came sat upon me dream

came sit upon me dream like a shout or a scream

a shout or a scream or a really ugly scene

that awake me from the dream an' alert me to the scheme



So me say that Walter Radni was a prisoner of fate

someone say that him gone thru de hero's gate

someone say that Walter Radni couldn't tek his true weight

so 'im tek it off 'im back an' go pick it 'pon 'im lap

an' go fall in a trap, an' Sam Burnham get it drop



But look how me dream come jus' get blown to smithereen

came blown to smithereen ina de miggle of the dream

Miggle of the dream before de peeple dem come in

peeple dem come in, the peeple dem come in



So me say that Walter Radni was no shark fi de sea

An' all that him did wan' was fi set 'im peeple free

Wi' de workers an' de peasan's him should a corporate

But like a fish to de hook, 'im go bite 'pon Burnham bait



You nuh see how me dream come jus' get blown to smithereen

An' blown to smithereen ina de miggle of the dream

Miggle of the dream before de really crucial scene

the really crucial scene when the peeple dem come in
