Igziabeher, yim mas gan
I'm recruiting soldiers for Jah army
Recruiting soldiers Jah time is now (Jah time is now)
Satan forces they all rise up to fight
They all rise up to fight Jah and the saints, I say
Only to fight, yeah, Jah and the saints
See them fighting against Jah children
See them slaughter them light slaves
Hear them come say, Jah is dead
But they didn't show me His grave, no, no
So I'm recruiting soldiers for Jah army
Recruiting soldiers Jah time is now (Jah time is now)
Antichrist forces they all rise up to fight against
They all rise up to fight Jah and the saints, I can tell you
Only to fight against Jah and the saints
But there is confusion, in high places
About the Lamb that was slain
And all these years I hear them say, they building a nation
But all these tricks were just a game
So I'm recruiting soldiers for Jah army
Lightning soldiers Jah time is now (Jah time is now)
Lucifer forces they all, they all rise up
To fight against, to fight against
Jah and the saints, but that won't work
Only to fight yeah Jah and the saints
Hear them praising old Marcus Garvey
Hear them exalting his name, oh he's great, yeh
But all this time, they be doing that, I say
If he was here, right now, he go to jail the same
Recruiting soldiers for Jah army
Recruiting soldiers Jah time is now
For my Father's army
Satan forces they all rise up only to fight
To fight, to fight
Fighting a losing battle
