[Intro – Spoken Chant with FX]
(FX: thunder roll, conga beat builds in)
"Babylon don rise again… but dem go fall.
Jah no sleep. Justice dey come.
Thunder… go fire Babylon!"
[Verse 1]
Dem become rich on blood and tears
While di citizens dey cry for years
Dem preach change but dey spoil it more
Steal the volt, then dey change the law
Di poor dey hustle, dem dey flex abroad
Dey rob di people and dey call am election
But who go save us from this fraud?
Thunder go fire their facade!
[Pre-Chorus] (Melodic call & response)
(Lead): Dem no dey hear when we dey talk
(Response): We no go tire to dey talk and walk the walk
(Lead): Dem dey chop, dem no dey look back
(Response): Time go reach wey the sky go crack!
[Chorus]
Thunder go fire Babylon!
Dem go feel the weight of the ghetto man
Thunder go fire Babylon!
Jah light go shine, we go stand strong
Thunder go fire Babylon!
No hiding place when the trumpet sound
Thunder go fire Babylon!
All wickedness must fall down!
[Verse 2]
See mama wey dey cry for food
But minister dey fly for mood
Big man dey drive convoy of sin
While market women dey fight to win
You dey send your pikin go school abroad
But the one for here no fit read at all
You dey act like say you be demi-god
But judgment go catch you like thunder rod
[Bridge – Dub Interlude / Spoken Word]
(FX: Echo, reverb on vocals, dub horns)
“Babylon system – time don expire
We no go keep quiet, we go light fire
Revolution no dey beg for chance
Na truth we dey speak, make dem listen!”
[Final Chorus – With Choir Harmonies]
Thunder go fire Babylon! (Say it loud!)
Thunder go fire Babylon! (One love, one sound!)
Thunder go fire Babylon! (Let the trumpet sound!)
Thunder go fire Babylon! (Freedom dey come around!)
[Outro – Fade with Chanting]
🎙️
"Fire! Fire! Thunder go fire Babylon!
Dem go run but dem no fit hide…
Righteousness go rise like morning tide."
