Songtexte Power and the Glory - Jimmy Cliff

For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
What a great conspiracy
(Conspiracy, conspiracy)

For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
What a great controversy
(Controversy, controversy)

Whoa, what a situation
This our fathers land
Power and glory is all they're after
Oh, I can see them getting the disaster
This power belongs unto our father
Power nowhere??
See Babylon in confusion
Oh, we're trodding Armageddon

For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
What a great conspiracy
(Conspiracy, conspiracy)

So?? on the so called?? world
Only to rise to see who can be king of the world
Innocent bloodshed for crown and title
Won't get no one nowhere in this cycle
So brimstone, fire and hailstone
Offering them??
'Cause the plow man has overtaken the reaper
And the downpressor has now become a loser

For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
What a great controversy
(Controversy, controversy)

Oh, what a conspiracy
For humanity, yeah
You as a tsar, United States and Soviet Russia
Guns to keep the world under pressure
They say they're wanting the same
But they disguise in the name
Oh no, this can't go one
One nation rise, one nation fall
Leading the righteous??

For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
For the power and the glory
What a great conspiracy
(Conspiracy, conspiracy)

For the power and the glory
For Jah Jah power and the glory
For the power and the glory
What a great controversy
(Controversy, controversy)

But I know
And I know, I know
I know Jah
Well, I know, I know, I know
Jah
Earthquake, ligthning and thunder
Brimstone, fire and hailstone
For Jah, hey, hey
