Text:
(Intro – Spoken)
Dem seh di land of freedom, but mi nah see di truth
Dem seh justice, but it only walk in one shoes
America… yuh house burnin’, and yuh leaders throwin’ oil pon di flame

(Verse 1)
Tell mi why di people cry, and still di rich man laugh
Why di preacher bless a gun, and di law tear love in half
Di skin still be a target, though di chains dem gone
But di same old hate still wear a uniform

(Chorus)
Fire in Babylon, fire again
Justice a callin’, but di truth in chains
Oh America, mi bredren weep
Yuh soul too deep to fall asleep
So rise up now, before it’s too late
No man born to carry hate

(Instrumental-Part)

(Verse 2)
Di leader love him power more than he love him land
Him point di finger, while him build di brand
Him speak in lies, him feed di fear
But di youth nah buy what him sellin’ here

And mi seh...
AfD inna Germany, Trump inna DC
Same poison, same ego, same hypocrisy
But dem cyan stop what Jah start within
'Cause love stronger than a lion’s skin

(Chorus)
Fire in Babylon, still a burn
Each man must choose when it come dem turn
Stand for di truth, or sink in shame
Light up di dark, call out dem name
Mi seh: Rise up, rise up and sing
No man rule di people like a king

(Bridge – Chant Style)
Rebel soul nah kneel! Nah bow fi gold!
Rasta seh love, while Babylon cold!
Di system lie, but di spirit know —
Jah guide di seed wherever it grow!

(Guitar-Solo)

(Final Chorus)
Fire in Babylon, but light soon come
Like morning rise, when di drumming drum
Yuh cyan jail a dream, or chain a heart
Every fallin’ empire tear itself apart
So plant di roots, and chant di rain
'Cause love a weapon stronger than pain

(Outro – Spoken, calm)
America… yuh great when yuh remember love
Not flags, not guns, not greed — just love
And mi still believe...

Fire in Babylon (Again)
