Night Falls

[Intro: dialogues from The Twilight Zone] - You don't drink, do you? - No - Well, that's what killed my Jack. I told him it was the devil's work, but he wouldn't listen to me. And you can see where he is now Oh, the devil's all around us, mister, all around us, everywhere we go. If we don't fight him, if we don't stand up to him, we suffer eternal torment - Yeah, I'm sure you're right - I know I'm right, and I'll tell you how i know. It was on a Sunday I was ironing, if you please, and that's when it came out of a clear blue sky. Oh, the dear good Lord's own sweet breath and His voice like an electric shock- I was revelated! Oh, praise Him, mister, and praise his good works! Do you read the Book? - What book is that? - Why, the good Book! [Verse 1: Killah Priest] As the night falls like black curtains all across diversions Urban streets showered by a hundred curses A man is murdered watching serpents now surface Lurking through his denim purses The birdhead chirpin', I zone-trip through seven universes My chakras working while addicts purchase from the heroin merchants Behind my screwed face is a gold pharaoh mask Within my eye is an hourglass Skin like brass, standing on unfinished corners With bleekers on us, Lilith watches I watch her too Through my telescope 'til this world envelopes Inhale brimstone smoke, graphics from my canvas of hand scripts My ink brush of luck if every sea was ink If every tree was a pen you could see what I think Would you do it again?, my divine presence My throne's not for threshin', my mind's the weapon Its essence is seven,as soon as my poem begin Make your bones cringe, amazing like the Stonehenge Amun-Ra Priest, the God [Chorus] Right before I get in my zone, I sit on my throne I write vivid hieroglyphics on stones through mystic microphones Places where shadows were born, so carol my songs The Pharaoh has called, so travel, come all Right before I get in my zone, I sit on my throne I write vivid hieroglyphics on stones through mystic microphones Places where shadows were born, so carol my songs The Pharaoh has called, so travel, come all So travel, come all [Verse 2 ] The wings of Heaven is tied to the wings of the ghettos Tries to soar but they're pulled by the strings of devils Our claws get netted, then they pluck us, no justice Our genetics, esoteric, great grandmothers suffered, they cuss us Then cuff us, we was accustomed, we precious I pray like Adam the Giant in an Eden of lions Flaming bodies in the horizon, way past Orion There's a city arising with celestial princes, prophets and kings From off every planet forming a solar regime They say, "Come brother, join us." But my time is not up so I lay in the cut My voyage is not for many years, so while I'm still here I spit that solar-fact rap, that street kingpin That tall man with green ski, feel me? 'Til then, and I see wings in my lens I rep the hood, I love Apple Bottoms, stress is no good It leads to that bridge over Gehenna I rather see the earth greener Disobedience led a curse between us The mystic physics of Priest pictures in Kabbalistic Scriptures Dissect the High Priest Rhymes Of wardrobe of Coogi, the luggage of Louis I lynched my gold neck, hung with jewelry Beneath my hair cut, I wear a Kufi, feel me? [Chorus] Right before I get in my zone, I sit on my throne I write vivid hieroglyphics on stones through mystic microphones Places where shadows were born, so carol my songs The Pharaoh has called, so travel, come all Come all, so travel, come all
