lyrics

An eye for an eye
Eye for eye
I and I say

An eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind

An eye for an eye
Eye for eye
I and I say

Hey an eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind

Well tooth for a tooth
You ain't gonna get no truth,
A life for a life
All you gonna get is more strife

An eye for an eye
Eye for eye
I and I say

An eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind

An eye for an eye
Eye for eye
I and I say

Hey an eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind

Arms against arms
All you gonna get is more harm
And life for a life
All you gonna get is more strife

Eye for an eye
Eye for eye
I and I say

Hey an eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind
An eye for an eye
Eye for eye
I and I say

Hey an eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind

An eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind

An eye for an eye
It make the whole world blind

An eye for an eye
Make the whole world blind

about

Akasha Chicago, Illinois

The Akasha sound gives birth to an unmistakable variety of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of The Skatalites, The Maytals, Heptones, Desmond Dekker and The Wailers.

"Akasha excels at conjuring up memories of reggae’s heyday, hewing close to its stylistic conventions while stretching out enough to incorporate many of its various strains and mutations."
