A letra:
Revelation, reveals the truth, Revelation
(Revolution,
revoution, revolution, revolution)
It
takes a revolution (revolution) to make a solution
Too much
confusion, so much frustration, yeah
I don't wanna live in the
park (live in the park)
Can't trust no shadows after dark, yeah
(shadows after the dark)
So my friend I wish that you could
see
Like a bird in the tree, the prisoners must be free, yeah
Never make a
politician, grant you a favour
They will always want to control
you forever (forever, forever)
So if a fire make it burn,
And
if a blood make it run, yeah
Rasta there up on
top, can't you see,
So you can't predict the flop, yeah
We got
lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder), brimstone (brimstone) and
fire, fire (fire, fire)
Lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),
brimstone (brimstone) and fire
Oh yeah, fire, oh yeah
Kill, cramp and paralyse all weak at conception
Wipe them out of
creation (creation), yeah (creation)
Oh! Let i'es is i'es (i'es),
in i'es is black (i'es),
In i'es is red (i'es), in i'es is dread,
yeah
Let rightousness cover the earth
Like the water cover
the sea, yeah, yeah
Lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),
brimstone and fire
Lightning, thunder...
