A Fire In Babylon Lyrics

A fire burns in Babylon
A spark will soon ignite
Burning flame of Jah
Light a fire that will purify
Wipe away the cities’ lies
Reducing fortunes into ash
Tear apart your useless mask
Nowhere left for you to hide
Damned for your foolish pride

Chant down Babylon… Chant down Babylon

Revelation’s time is now
Your world will crumble to the ground
Final judgment now has come
This is the Armageddon

A eulogy for the modern man
Enslaved and devoured by the strength of its demands
A eulogy for the modern man
Hide your head and cower
Or be struck down where you stand

To advance in truth and rights
To advance in love and light
The path of righteousness is leading
The songs of I and I are pleading
In the grace of Mount Zion
With the strength of the lion
All barriers shall be broken
All hearts alight and open

A fire burns in Babylon
Your world will burn
A fire burns in Babylon
Your world is burning down

the solo in this song kicks my ass.

Yea this song is ridiculous, specially with prelude to disaster played right before it. Makes it so much cooler. Anyway, This song is about Iraq, and probably the war. Babylon was a biblical refrence to the country we now call Iraq, and much of the dark armeggedon imagery in this song seems to be a reaction against the war there.

Babylon is not Iraq. It's North America, and the fire that will "wipe away the cities’ lies" is the "burning flame of Jah" (Jesus).
