For this track, Dr Das borrowed the signature framedrum loop from his track “Outsider Dub.” This ominous sound introduces the song and gives way to an equally brooding bassline. As Lima sings of how the community will organize itself against the company, he is backed up by a disciplined rimshot and bass drum syncopation. Delhi’s darker commentary is punctuated by what sounds like the percussive cocking of police rifles and dhol distortion, indicating a growing climate of fear. Towards the end, as Lima speaks of the transformation of ‘immortal nectar into poison’ his voice dissipates into regenerative noise and we hear the sound of distant gunfire.

LYRICS:
LIMA MAJHI

brothers and sisters we will come together
we will make unity our weapon
and lead the heroic struggle
we will call people from all the villages
and hold meetings in the sacred meeting places by the water
to discuss our joys and sorrows
we will form committees in all the villages
we will mobilize everyone in the country
we will maintain peace in our country
this alien government has come
to snatch away our motherland
and set up a factory here
our air and water will be poisoned
it will take immortal nectar away in exchange for poison
it will harrass us

DELHI SULTANATE

queen of England East India company
nowadays twenty more company come for me
names like Utkal - Norsk and Hydro
Aditya Birla and Larsen Toubro
death – terrorize we community
bloodshed - police – beat with impunity
shot a bust – fi scatter we strength and unity
remember – them beat woman with a rifle butt?

meet me the upon the beautiful river
bloodstains wash regroup and recover
news I hear deliver the spine shiver
poison pill – a mek mi blood turn bitter

because you see
the courts nah hear we plea
and policemen threaten to shoot you
plant informers in every family - they want to eat the roots to

you see
2004 was the year
flag marches in every village square
colonial army dem a try spread fear
and too many innocent youths them disappear

LIMA

brothers and sisters we will come together
we will make unity our weapon
and we will maintain peace
