Max Romeo with Niney and Scratch - Babylon Burning


(Perry)

Song Lyrics Biblical Reference
Not even the dog that pissed against the walls of Babylon shall escape I wrath! Jeremiah 50:29 - Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
JAH is strong and mighty in battle Psalm 24:8 - Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Cramp we got (??)  
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
But there's no water
Jeremiah 51:58 - Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
Fire, fire
Fire, fire
Fire, fire
But there's no water

All dem a jump and reel
All dem a jump and reel
If dem crawl like snail
Rasta gwaan clip them tail

Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
But there's no water

Fire, fire
Fire, fire
Fire, fire
But there's no water

I say, Not even the dog that pissed against the walls of Babylon shall escape JAH wrath!

JAH is strong!
Quake me, God, quake, I say!
Quake!
 
Blood and fire
Blood and fire
Blood and fire
But there's no water
Joel 2:30 - And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Acts 2:19 - And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Revelation 8:7 - The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Who you gonna run to now?
Who you gonna run to now, bwoy?
Who you gonna run to now
When I and I hold you?

Fire, fire - fire!
Fire, fire - fire!
Fire, fire...
