Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So they wanna burn up Zion gate, the entrance to my home
Ooh-whoa, yeah
Whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh
Yeah, oh
Oh-oh-oh
Yeah, ay-ay, oh
[Verse 2]
So they want to burn up Zion
Gate, the entrance to my home
Lock us in a foreign country
In a modern day ghetto
[Verse 3]
And our weed, dem a rob
Upon our heads, dem are
Or if dem need a pot at rain time
Yute dem utilize
[Verse 4]
You dem criticize, you dem scandalize
You dem use again, you de man called friend
And if that man should fall (Upon the oceans they will call)
All Jah musicians (In Iration)
[Verse 5]
To all those heroes dem may not
Enter into the gardens of life
Oh, thou shall not
Enter into the gardens of life
[Verse 6]
So they want to teach young lions
Yeah, with them bag of lies
They've taken my heart and soul
They're trading a mountain of gold
[Verse 7]
Inna a dis a feeling home
All a dem, man, dem haffi go
Uh-oh, uh-oh, man haffi go
Oh, my idren should have known
[Verse 8]
Who a, a dep up in I yard
W}ho may take my soul
And who left dem gate open?
Go on in, what 'em say
[Verse 9]
All of dem may take my yard
And all that they take they hold
But still they want to be angels
Be angels
[Verse 10]
To all those heroes dem may not
Enter into the gardens of life
Oh, they shall not enter into gardens of
Life
[Verse 11]
Is there a hero among you?
No, not today, or not by tomorrow
They're servicing the highest kingdom of Babylon
No man seems to know, for it's a silent war, how could they know?
[Verse 12]
So they want to burn up Zion
Gate, pon ya demand
So block headed they don't know, and if so they
Can't see Jah mount Zion, iron sharpen iron
[Verse 13]
And they build a roadblock in I man town
Hold dem up in country, hold 'em up in Tivoli, I man say
We a de, chant a de, I ya call, Jah-Jah will answer
We a de, chant a de, dem a call, Jah-Jah will answer
We a de, never gwan pass away, Jah-Jah shall guide you
[Verse 14]
To all those heroes dem may not
Enter into the gardens of life
Oh, they shall not enter into gardens of
Life
[Verse 15]
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
[Verse 16]
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
Gonna rock dem, rock dem all, gonna beat dem, beat dem all
[Verse 17]
Now the war is over, children, and we shall go unto
Now the war is over, people, and we shall live on
Keep on, live on, keep on, live on, keep on
And inna dis, a dis a jungle idren, and inna dis a foreign land y'all
Across the oceans we shall stand
United, undivided, undivided, still united
Oh, Lord, we shall, we shall
We shall trod on, yes, we shall trod on, yes
On and on and on, yes, we shall, we shall, we shall
