Nine! — cross di line! Six! Nine! — fire combine! Six! Nine! — roots and steel! Six! Nine! — make dem feel! Yuh tink di masses sleeping forever? Yuh tink di chains and di lies hold together? Sixty-nine — Vietnam burn, Woodstock reply Dem stay blind while di truth amplify Reggae seh love through oppression barrel Metal seh rage — same message, same channel Two voices rise but a one bloodline Fuse get lit inna sixty-nine Leader, ruler — we call dem out clear No peace pon earth while corruption steer Wake up now — no time fi linger Fire a rise — and it getting bigger Nineteen sixty-nine — di giants dem rise Reggae meet metal — revolution inna di skies Two flames blaze from di same blood-soaked rage Two sounds crash pon a war-torn stage Nineteen sixty-nine — dem couldn't kill di sound Now di world inna fire but we still stand ground From di cinder, from di ash, from di battle line Born inna di dark — lit in sixty-nine Born in di fire — we forged, refined Still burning bright from sixty-nine Through di chaos, through di fight, through di time Still alive — still survive — sixty-nine never die
