Woe To Babylon

This is one of the older songs I wrote while hanging out with my Rastafarian friends and members of the Nyabinghi Council on the Islands in British Columbia Canada,. This resulted in me writing several Biblically influenced Reggae songs. Being raised Christian and my Father a Pastor, I had a few things to say on the matter. I have a lot of questions, The Whore of Babylon is the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church who created the constructs of Heaven and Hell, which did not exist in the Old Testament. And the constructs of what we know as Jesus and Satan are two sides to the same coin. They cannot exist without each other. This is the Great Lie.

Woe to Babylon and the throne she sits upon
The vile wine she drinks,
The bitter words she speaks

The devil try to quench your thirst
With his flame he bites and hurt
Oh no, he never see the sunshine
For it burns his eyes oh woe
To the souls who follow him and wear his disguise

The devil try to deceive you
With the mark of the beast on your crown
Oh no, we are the children of Jah
We shine with the glory
No lies can change the truth in our hearts
We know the whole story

Heed not the sweet call of Babylon
Which sound like music to the ears
But once inside turns to wormwood
Bitter for a thousand years, oh no
Let not a drop of your blood fall in her wineskin
Give no place in your soul for her twisted perversions

When the cup of wrath is full
All the demons go back to hell
And the ones who believe the lies and follow
Oh none can tell

Babylon you’re falling to the ground
You’ve chopped the legs you walk upon
And cannot move around

Babylon your time has finally come
You’ve slit the throat you sing with
Now you cannot make a sound
