Heathen

Oh Jah, Rastafari Haile Selassie the first
Guide and protect all thy children from all the perils
And the dangers of this day and of the night
Let thy light shine upon the generation
Of all those who seek thy face, oh Jah
And shelter them from the retribution
Of the unrighteous in this time, I pray
Jah, Rastafari Haile Selassie I
I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I, hmm

See di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall

Rise up, fallen fighters
Rise and take your stands again
Is he who fight and run away
Live to fight another day

And di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall

As a man sow shall he reap
And I know that talk is cheap
But the hotter the battle
A di sweeter Jah victory

And di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall

Liberate thyself now, brothers
From out of slavery (I-ya)
I and I must approach I-ya task with
The utmost bravery (I-ya)
Never try to give up or heathen will
Take control, so

See di heathen dem, see di heathen dem, see di heathen dem
See di heathen dem, see di heathen dem, see di heathen dem
See di heathen dem, see di heathen dem, see di heathen dem

See di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back yeh 'pon di wall

Rise up, fallen fighters
Rise and take your stands again
Is he who fight and run away
Live to fight another day, yes, an' then

Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
See di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
I-ya, see di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
See di heathen back deh 'pon di wall (Uh-uh, yeah)

Through the powers of the most high Jah (Jah)
