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
