Messian Dread - Babylon


[by Messian Dread, (c) 1988]

Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Look at the world today and tell me what you see
The leaders of nations yeah, fighting wars and bringing poverty
It's a war of power they are fighting
And them tell the people that it's justice
But when I see the guns them lightning
All the armies dem a striking
Iman wonder if that is what Jah call justice (yes)
Iman wonder if that is what JAH call justice
 
Babylon, let me tell you about babylon
Let me sing a song about the whore
where every king of the earth has slept with
babylon
babylon
Revelation 17:2 - With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Revelation 18:3 - For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Revelation 18:9 - And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Some say she's a mystery Revelation 17:5 - And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
but it's clear for all to see
What she is causing is pain and mysery
Some say she's a mystery, but it is not for you and not for me
To co operate with her inna dis (hurt) society
Cause evil is her plan you know
Evil her aims
and what she plays today Iman cyaan call that games
 
Cause she is drunk of the sufferer
Who suffered for the Name of Jessas
Revelation 17:6 - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Babylon!
