Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Zion dreaming from an iron gate yeah
Dragon fire ago burn them all
Jah gonna start this revolution
[Verse 2]
The light struck the night
Two in discipline a battle them fight
Walk and talk they steal mash them down we will
With the strength of a lion stand still
War today, oh still I hear war today
The youth man call upon these elders of which we seek after
Oh the Congo man a chanting
Oh them Congo man a chanting
[Verse 3]
Oh the youth them know but they cannot see
It's not the youth's laugh when they beat up and we
Oh the youth them know of all the tears we cry
Yes of this Rastaman life
Oh this Rastaman life
And you can see the changes
From the minds and thoughts of our children
Here in desolate places
[Verse 4]
Oh we give thanks and praises to our elders, yes
For the guidance we seek after
We give thanks and praises to our elders
For rant and then we know the one chance stand low tonight
Shall run, run tonight
Shall stand, run tonight
Shall run, run tonight
Long before this war, we used to lie we used to cry in bed
With visions of fire running red
And so I call upon my elders instead
Don Carlos at the control
[Verse 5]
Oh yeah, oh yeah now
Oh yeah, oh yeah now
Oh yeah, oh yeah now
Oh yeah, oh yeah now
[Verse 6]
See them come up along the road oh I can see them
Some walk by day some stalk by night
Oh Rastafari shall greet them in the end
And so the man run up so long, so long, oh Lord
They beating them down they shooting them down
Oh it's a poor man's battle for the youth man stalk
And the rich them run away
Seems like they not know them right from wrong
But I see the youth will fight tonight whoa
Look how they jump and shriek and moan
For natty coming over
[Verse 7]
Natty's freedom taking over
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
Beating down them dragons
Better mash them down
Better beat them down
A chapter in yeah
Man from water I'll say
Send the evil away
Man from water I'll say
A chapter a day
Oh and which one shall pray
I give the heather away
Have them fire gonna burn wow
Have them fire gonna burn
Said they must have to learn
Said the fire after they burn
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah now
Oh yeah, oh, oh
[Verse 8]
A chapter a day
Man teach them say
Keep the evil away
Oh and preacher say
A chapter a day
Gayana say
Keep the heathens away
[Verse 9]
Gonna beat them down yeah, yeah
Gonna mash them down
Mash them I say
Gonna beat them down yeah
The elders them say

Oh the elders have said
The righteous day
Righteously
