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