1)The Dream Warriors are King Lou and Capital Q (aka The Quiet Storm), a pair of Toronto, Canada-based alternative rappers.
2) A metal band from Honduras.

1) They formed in 1988 and released the jazz rap LP And Now, the Legacy Begins in 1991, which was critically acclaimed and sold well in Canada and the United Kingdom. The album spawned the hit single "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style", which featured a prominent sample of Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones which originally appeared on his 1962 LP Big Band Bossa Nova and was also the theme music to the Canadian game show Definition.

The 1994 follow-up, Subliminal Simulation, received mixed reviews, and has since been forgotten by some and named a cult favourite by others; it featured guest vocals by Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets (on the track "Tricycles and Kittens"), and Guru and DJ Premier contributed to two different versions of the song called "I've Lost My Ignorance (and Don't Know Where To Find It").

Their most recent album, 1997's The Master Plan, was poorly received and did not sell well, but they made an appearance in 1999 for The Herbaliser on the track "Road of Many Signs."

Twelve Sided Dice
Dream Warriors Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got shadow fear
Your brain is tickin', thinkin'
If it's us again
Of course it is
The same firm, same name, same claim

Be humble, my brothers, for this one's different
It's the roll of the 12-sided dice

Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice

I've got a profitable brain, supernatural eyes
Multiplied by
The galactic vigilante strapped twice
What's your answer, Dungeon Master?

Unimaginable awful blast on the face of this earth

Then you've got that right
I'm the tow truck
Of the soul land
I can get around you, I get you hyper
So forever, and ever
This will be spreaded across the livergaway
I am the way
I will take the weak out, put my thoughts right in
And then

Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice

Do not attempt to avoid my thoughts
Climb out of the frying pan, you roast in the fire
Cleric, my character, I hope you recall
I am religious to what I believe in
Righteousness takes us away from the wrong
So have no
Right
And have no
Wrong

If we didn't have dark, we wouldn't need light
This style is different as you can tell
It's in the flow, it's in the flow
It's in the flow
Here I go

Too unaccented explaining this man
My life could be long, my life could be short
While I'm living I'm playing it smart
A fighter I am, and a fighter I will be
Keeping my hit points high, not low
I think before I move
Right
I think before I move
Left
Then roll the twelve-sided dice

Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice

This is the real King, encyclopedic, mind weave offer
I'm telling you tales about my quest
Empty factory studios
The weak and great shall not succeed
Makes your mind all go to pieces you would never leave
Wasteful to wait, most full thoughts
Time
Allows you to go, but you don't think fast

You don't think fast
You don't think fast
You don't think fast
You don't think fast

Look
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I ever known
I'm a hitchhiker
The guide to the galaxy
You're feeble, brittle, and sitting on the critical
I know I'm cease times table
I'm using a character, in this case a king
The same thing that I would wanna say
You see the crowd as an elastic, I'm pulling to the fold
When an immortal takes hold
The crowd is cold
Stun
This immortal is second to none
For here
This is my atmosphere
And if your DJ is itchin' to match my scratchin'
He will itch all over in a thousand places
He pulls maces and knocks out faces
You need practice in order to extract us
Roll of the twelve-sided dice

Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice
Roll of the 12-sided dice

Had fast ideas about reality
All in one speech to teach that
Wisdom and power do not agree
So put fun and joke aside and come with me
I will guide you to everlasting light
There's no turning back if you're coming this way
You will learn how to live, and learn more why
We roll the twelve-sided dice
