[Intro – Jack Righteous Spoken Flow] Before di world had shape or sky No moon to mark, no sun to try No time to count, no place to spin Just Word and fire deep within Six days not clock days mi friend Six ages ’fore di now begin Light tek breath and waters part Di Maker whisper — life start [Verse 1 – The Birth of Light] Six days of thunder, six days of rain Six days di ground learn joy and pain River carve, mountain rise Spirit walk ’pon open skies Angel shout and demon creep Jah plant dream in soul so deep But when man open eye to see He question truth and ask, “Who mi be?” [Pre-Chorus – The Warning Echo] Voice of serpent twist di tone Say, “Rule di world, make it your own.” But Righteous cry, “You blind again!” Warn di people, speak of pain Step back child, di fire near Truth ride humble, never fear [Chorus – Call and Response] The Enemy The Enemy He walk in shadow sound like mi The Enemy The Enemy He hide in heart where truth should be The Enemy The Enemy Righteous warn but man neva hear The Enemy The Enemy from within [Verse 2 – Eden Rising and Falling] Eden breathe sweet — di air was pure, Love so strong it felt secure. Fruit shine bright, di river sing, Every beast bow ’round di King. Man an woman walk hand in hand, Name each creature ’cross di land. But knowledge call — a golden tongue, Say, “Take di fruit, yuh too young.” Eyes open wide — truth and flame, Innocence gone, but sight remain. Garden weep, di sky turn cold, Man learn power — lose control. From tree to dust, from breath to sin, Jah whisper low, “It start within.” [Bridge – The Mirror Revealed] Look in di water, see yuh face Same fire hide in every race Mi nuh point finger, mi point to heart Where truth an evil both can start It nuh serpent, crown, or king It di pride dat make yuh sing Mi voice a mirror fi di soul To find di light, regain control [Chorus – Reprise] The Enemy The Enemy Still talk sweet sound just like we The Enemy The Enemy Truth ride low set people free The Enemy The Enemy Righteous warn di sign was plain Ride through fire, ride through pain The Enemy The Enemy from within [Final Verse – The Righteous Declaration] Mi name Jack Righteous, mi bear dat flame, Born of dust but neva tame. Creation hum di song mi bring, ’Bout rise, ’bout fall, ’bout every king. Mi see di start, mi feel di ground, Where love and law first circle round. Di fire speak through heart of man, Prepare di way — di work began. [Outro – The Dawn of Man] Now hear mi people, story start, With early man, two beating hearts. Two born of earth, one blood, one breath, Soon walk di path through life and death. Each choice a seed, each act a chain, Each soul must face di joy and pain. But light still call from dust to soul, Mi chant fi truth, fi make man whole. So walk wid mi — di tale reveal, the enemy of my enemy can , the enemy of my enemy can , the enemy of my enemy can , the enemy of my enemy can the enemy of my enemy can heal
