Lyrics
Fire on Babylon (LIVE VERSION 1997)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This should be played at high volume
Preferably in a residential area
She took my father from my life
Took my sisters and brothers on
I watched her torturing my child
Feeble I was then but now I'm grown
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes the change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire, oh
She's taken everything I liked
She's taken every lover on
And all along she gave me lies
Just to make me think I loved her
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes the change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire, oh
Life's backwards life backwards
People turn around
The house is burned the house is burned
The children are gone
Fire, fire
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes the change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire, fire oh, fire oh
Fire
Move out to Babylon Rasta man
And leave all the wicked men -yes-
Move out to Babylon Rasta man
And leave all the wicked men
Now wicked shall not prosper -no-
Only righteous man shell enter
In the kingdom of Jaweh the Almighty
In the kingdom of Jaweh the Almighty
So Move out to Babylon Rasta man
And leave all the wicked men
I'm gonna swim in the deep blue
Yes, I am swimming in the deep blue
Yes, I am coming for you Jaweh, Jaweh
swimming in the deep blue
Yes, I am swimming in the deep blue
Yes, I am coming for you Jaweh, Jaweh
swimming in the deep blue
Yes, I am swimming in the deep blue
I know I am loving for you Jaweh, Jaweh
swimming in the deep blue
Yes, I am swimming in the deep blue
Yes, I am coming for you Jaweh, Jaweh
swimming in the deep blue
Yes, I am swimming in the deep blue
I know I am loving for you Jaweh, Jaweh
