[INTRO – DARK / ATMOSPHERIC] (Irie Prophet – spoken/sung softly) Hear the warning in the thunder... Feel the fire in the ground... Babylon built it walls so high, But truth will tear them down... (Ziona – distant harmony) Wake up... Wake up... (Irie) Babylon of fire... Your time is coming now... [VERSE 1] They built their towers on the suffering, Counting their riches while the people bleed, Selling illusions like they're giving freedom, Planting the poison inside the seed. But I can hear a different sound, Coming from the hearts beneath the ground, No more silence, no more fear, The voice of the people getting louder here. They thought we would forget, They thought we would obey, But every chain they put upon us Only makes us find a way. [PRE-CHORUS – BUILDING] Can you feel it? Can you feel it rising? Something is changing tonight. Can you hear it? Can you hear the fire? Truth is coming into the light. [CHORUS – MASSIVE] BABYLON OF FIRE! BURNING IN THE NIGHT! You can build your kingdom, But you cannot kill the light! BABYLON OF FIRE! WE'RE BREAKING THROUGH THE WALL! When the people stand together, Babylon will fall! [DROP 1 – DUBSTEP] (Irie vocal chops) Rise! Rise! Rise from the ashes! Truth! Truth! Break through the darkness! [HEAVY DUBSTEP DROP] Babylon... Babylon... FIRE! [VERSE 2] Money can't buy what the soul remembers, Power can't silence the ancient drum, You can control the streets and the numbers, But you can't control where the spirit comes from. I see the young ones opening their eyes, I see the mothers teaching children to rise, I see the workers refusing the lie, And I see a new day coming in the sky. No more fear in my heart, No more chains on my mind, If you search for the truth, You will know what you find. [PRE-CHORUS 2] Can you feel it? The vibration is growing. Can you feel it? The old world is slowing. We were sleeping, Now we're opening our eyes. The truth was never buried... It was waiting inside. [CHORUS – BIGGER] BABYLON OF FIRE! BURNING IN THE NIGHT! You can build your kingdom, But you cannot kill the light! BABYLON OF FIRE! WE'RE BREAKING THROUGH THE WALL! When the people stand together, Babylon will fall! [ZIONA – FEMALE RESPONSE] (Irie) Who gonna stop the rising? (Ziona) Nobody! (Irie) Who gonna stop the people? (Ziona) Nobody! (Irie) Who gonna hide the truth? (Ziona) Nobody! (BOTH) The fire is alive! [DROP 2 – MASSIVE] (Irie) WE RISE! [DROP] WE RISE! [DROP] WE RISE! [DROP] FROM THE FIRE! [HEAVY DUBSTEP SECTION] [BRIDGE – HALF TIME / EMOTIONAL] (Irie) I don't want your silver, I don't want your gold, Give me back my freedom, Give me back my soul. (Ziona harmony) Give me back my soul... (Irie) I don't need your kingdom, I don't need your throne, If righteousness is with me, I'll never walk alone. [FINAL BUILD] (Irie – increasingly powerful) From the mountain to the valley... From the city to the sea... Every heart that chooses freedom Is another soul set free. (Ziona) Set free... (Irie) Every voice becomes a thunder... Every step becomes a flame... When the people know their power, Nothing stays the same! [FINAL CHORUS – EXPLOSIVE] BABYLON OF FIRE! BURNING IN THE NIGHT! You can build your kingdom, But you cannot kill the light! BABYLON OF FIRE! WE'RE BREAKING THROUGH THE WALL! When the people stand together, BABYLON WILL FALL! [FINAL DROP] (Irie) NO MORE FEAR! (Ziona) NO MORE FEAR! (Irie) NO MORE CHAINS! (Ziona) NO MORE CHAINS! (Irie) TRUTH! (Ziona) TRUTH! (BOTH) LOVE! (Irie) FREEDOM! [OUTRO – DARK REGGAE] Babylon of fire... Your walls are coming down... The people found their voices... And truth is all around. (Irie softly) Babylon... You can't stop the light...
