**[Intro]** Yeah... Irie Prophet Rise up! No more silence No more chains Fire pon Babylon! Lord have mercy...... Jaaaaaah Rastafari..... **[Verse 1]** Dem build dem walls, but we see through Dem tell the people what we must do Dem take the land, dem take the bread While innocent voices cry for the dead But we nah bow, we nah bend The struggle rise again and again From the concrete jungle to the countryside The people wake up, no place to hide **[Pre-Chorus]** Stand firm, stand strong We know right from wrong When the system try to hold us down We rise up from the ground **[Chorus]** Fire pon Babylon, burn away the lies Fire pon Babylon, truth will never die Fire pon Babylon, hear the people cry We nah surrender, we nah compromise Fire pon Babylon! Fire pon Babylon! Justice in our heart And freedom in our eyes **[Verse 2]** Dem use the fear just to control Try to put a price upon the soul Money talk while the poor man bleed But love and unity is what we need Dem draw the lines, dem divide the street Tell brother fight against brother we meet But we see the game and we know the plan One human family, woman and man No more oppression No more deceit No more corruption Taking food from the street **[Pre-Chorus]** Stand firm, stand strong We know right from wrong When the system try to hold us down We rise up from the ground **[Chorus]** Fire pon Babylon, burn away the lies Fire pon Babylon, truth will never die Fire pon Babylon, hear the people cry We nah surrender, we nah compromise Fire pon Babylon! Fire pon Babylon! Justice in our heart And freedom in our eyes **[Bridge]** Who have the power? **The people!** Who have the strength? **The people!** Who carry the future? **The people!** Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! You can lock the body But you can't lock the mind You can silence one voice But a million will rise You can build your kingdom On the suffering and pain But when the people awaken You can't rule again **[Instrumental / Brass & Guitar Break]** Fire! Fire! Fire pon Babylon! **[Verse 3]** I see the children and I know their worth They deserve a better place upon this earth No more hunger, no more fear No more telling them the future disappear So I walk with the righteous I walk with the brave I carry the message That the people can be saved Not with hatred Not with greed But with truth, love and unity That's the revolution That's the seed **[Final Chorus]** Fire pon Babylon, burn away the lies Fire pon Babylon, truth will never die Fire pon Babylon, hear the people cry We nah surrender, we nah compromise Fire pon Babylon! Fire pon Babylon! Justice in our heart And freedom in our eyes Fire pon Babylon! Fire pon Babylon! Let the truth arise! Let the truth arise! **[Outro]** No chains... No fear... No silence... The people are rising The people are rising Fire pon Babylon... Fire pon Babylon... Truth will never die.
