War, di war, di war!
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place in iration, in iration.
|
War, di war, di war!
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place inna iration.
|
|
In the beginning, there was but one concept,
|
And that's the concept of I.
|
Then arose Apollyon, the Devil
|
- Satan! Satan! -
|
claiming that it's you and I.
|
And from that day on,
|
There was trouble in the world,
|
And the world goin' astray.
|
From that day on,
|
Trouble in the world,
|
And the world goin' astray.
|
We've got wars, and rumours of wars.
|
Trouble in the world,
|
And the world goin' astray... [repeated]
|
Nations rising up against nations,
|
Mother against daughter,
|
Father 'gainst son,
|
Little children having children,
|
In dis ya war, di war, di war.
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place in iration, in iration.
|
War, di war, di war!
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place inna iration.
|
|
I see light fighting against darkness,
|
Righteousness against evil,
|
Right battling against wrong,
|
Here comes bondage, struggling for freedom,
|
|
But have patience! I Idren, have patience!
|
Don't be burdened by reasons of tribulations.
|
Have patience! Idren, have patience!
|
Remember the call of redemption.
|
|
It says: Blessed art the poor,
|
They shall inherit the earth.
|
Blessed art the meek,
|
They shall have a birth.
|
Them that hunger and thirst after righteousness
|
Them alone shall be called blessed,
|
|
In dis ya war, di war, di war.
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place in iration, in iration.
|
War, di war, di war!
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place inna iration.
|
|
War belong to di pastors
|
That lead my sheep astray,
|
Everyone, everyone shall get his pay, yeah.
|
All the gates of Hell
|
Just could never prevail.
|
I'd like to say, Babylon fail.
|
There is one like unto a place of fire,
|
His name I can tell.
|
He is conquering and to conquer
|
The gates of Doom and Hell.
|
And life, long life, is His reward
|
To them that are good.
|
As for di heathen, as for di heathen
|
In their hearts, His name is terrible and dreadful.
|
|
In dis ya war, di war, di war.
|
It's di Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place in iration, in iration.
|
War, di war, di war!
|
It's di Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place inna iration.
|
In dis ya war, di war, di war.
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place in iration, in iration.
|
War, di war, di war!
|
It's the Armagiddeon.
|
Taking place inna iration.
|
|
The night is passed, the day is come
|
I see Jah shining in the shining sun.
|
The night is passed, the day is come
|
I see Jah shining...
