The Coming Storm (Cover)

[Reggae riddim begins, a hypnotic bassline and off-beat skank] [Intro] Jah know... The prophecy say... A new day comin'... [Echoing vocal ad-lib] Oh, yes, I... [Verse 1] Hordes from the deep, they call 'em, Leviathan Risin' from the shadows, Jah see their plan With teeth of cold steel, they tearin' up the land Flesh and bone a-scatterin', can you understand? This ain't no myth, no story, just the way things stand The people a-sufferin' 'cross this troubled land. [Chorus - Slightly faster tempo, with prominent bass and drums] Oh, the Leviathan risin' from the dark Leavin' a mark, a deep and heavy mark Jah people cryin', lost in the park A new Babylon comin', breakin' every heart. [Verse 2] They call 'em creepin' things, a crawlin' tide Blind to the truth, with nowhere left to hide Burstin' from the pavement, with greed deep inside Swarm and they snatchin', nowhere to go, nowhere to ride All human meat just a-scatterin' wide But Jah light a-burnin', to be our guide. [Chorus - Return to the faster tempo] Oh, the Leviathan risin' from the dark Leavin' a mark, a deep and heavy mark Jah people cryin', lost in the park A new Babylon comin', breakin' every heart. [Verse 3] The skies filled with things, with dark and wicked wings A maelstrom of smoke, the prophecy sings Dragons of the fire, the misery it brings Burnin' and maimin' and a-tearin' up the springs Hear the mournful sound, the sad sound that rings As the Babylon system pullin' on the strings. [Guitar solo, with a slow, melodic, and slightly wailing tone] [Bridge] Ruin from three realms, Jah people standin' tall Annihilation comin', answerin' the call They try to take our spirits, try to make us fall But Jah spirit livin', standin' over all. [Outro] Teeth of razored steel, yeah, they tear flesh from bone... [Bass drum kicks in with a heavier beat] But Jah people, we're never alone... They snatchin' and feasting, with a deep and wicked thirst... [Fading echo)] Jah people, we must stand up first... Burning and maiming, the fire rains down... But Jah people, we'll wear the righteous crown. [Ad-lib with an echoing vocal] No survivors, they say... No survivors... [Riddim fades out with a final strum of the guitar and a lingering bass note] [End]
