about

A song about the reciprocity of violence and the perpetual loop and price of not forgiving.

lyrics

(Chorus):
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.

(Verse):
A tooth for a tooth,
You ain't gonna get no truth,
And a life for a life,
All you gonna get is more strife.

(Chorus):
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.

(Verse):
Arms against arms,
All you gonna get is more harm,
And life for a life,
All you gonna get is more strife.

(Chorus):
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.

(Ending):
An eye for an eye,
Will make the whole world blind,
An eye for an eye,
Will make the whole world blind,
An eye for an eye,
Will the whole world blind,
An eye for an eye,
Will 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."
