Lyrics

These are the Ten Commandments
Were given by Jah unto Moses, on the table of stone
The Ten Commandments
Commandment One:
"Thou shalt have no other god but one God" (One God)
Commandment Two:
"Thou shalt have no graven image of God"
Commandment Three:
"Thou shalt not call Lord thy God's name in vain"
God Lord thy God will not hold they guilty
That taketh his name in vain
Commandment Four:
"Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy" (Holy, holy)
Commandment Five:
"Honour your father and your mother"
That your days may be long upon this land
Which the Lord thy God giveth thee
Commandment Six:
"Thou shalt not kill" (Thou shalt not kill)
Commandment Seven:
"Thou shalt not commit adultery" (Adultery)
Commandment Eight:
"Thou shalt not steal" (Thou shalt not steal)
Commandment Nine:
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour"
Commandment Ten:
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods"
Nor anything, not his house, nor anything
And that were the Ten Commandments, given to inspiration
By Prince Far I
