A PRIME EXAMPLE OF JUST HOW GREAT BUNNY WAILER IS AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS I'VE EVER HEARD. THE OLD DRAGON.
Old Dragon is not a Wailers' song, but rather a solo effort from Bunny Wailer, one of the three original Wailers, after he left the band. It originally appeared on an album called Struggle recorded in Jamaica 1978-79. What is most unusual about The Old Dragon is Bunny chose to open EVERY LIVE SHOW with this song and it is a song about THE DEVIL. "Now this is the history of one whose beginning was not in the womb/ Nor whose ending in the grave/ LUCIFER, THE OLD DRAGON."
Imagine hearing Bunny live and this magnificent song opens the show. The question most people ask next is "Why would this beautiful, spiritual man choose a song about the devil to open each concert?" Bunny has stated it is better to acknowledge the devil and give him his due right up frontrather than pretend he doesn't exist and have him sneak up on you later and cause considerable harm. I theorized (and it's nothing more than that) Bunny might have conceived the idea of beginning every show with a song about the devil from an incident that occurred during a live Wailers show in late 1964. A power failure hit the area and the room was plunged into blackness. Patrons started throwing bottles, smashing chairs and stage equipment and a riot ensued. The musicians hid in a bathroom backstage. This terrifying event provided the inspiration for some Wailers songs like Jumbie Jamboree. The word "jumbie" means ghost, or "duppy" And if a person is called a "duppy" it means he has no soul or feelings. So I'm just thinking if this event unleashed such awful negative vibes, perhaps Bunny thought it's better to acknowledge the cause of all this darkness right at the outset. Anyway, it's just an idea. What's important is this stunningly beautiful song.
I was fortunate to see Bunny on his first visit to America at Radio City Music Hall here in New York City. Third row, the closest I've ever sat for a reggae show. Bunny has a rare talent of being strong and forceful and delicate at the same time. When he started the show with this magnificent song, it was absolute heaven to be there.
God, this is an amazing song. I urge everyone to hear it.

Now this is the history of one
Whose beginning was not in the womb
Nor whose ending in the grave
Lucifer the old dragon

Once upon a time
In Holy Mount Zion
Where have always been one perfection
All Jah children
They are gathered, around.. Jah throne
Chanting songs.. and songs of praises
Then one, a certain one called Lucifer
Where envy greed and lust for power
And there were others, who were aspired by his ways
He had accomplices, who were aspired by his ways
Dress back Satan! You don't get Jah children no more

There was a man cry in a Holy Mount Zion
Which caused the casting out of the host of Satan
Who then came down here as the serpent, upon, this earth
With his splish his sorrows and his woes
Then he sought, the soul of Adam
And in Eve he put the sting of evil
And all nations, did learn of his ways
All nations tongues of nations did learn of his ways
Dress back Satan! You can't get Jah children no more

Now is the same, the same old dragon, yeah
?? old dragon Satan
Who have caused Jah little children, to go, astray
With his promises, his scornful and dirty ways
He is appointed for a time and season
There to rule over and to deceive all nations
And then, he, shall be put away
Then after all these things, he shall be put away
There shall appear
The mighty Angel, trodding out of Zion
And having, their key, to the bottomless pit
And the great chain of lightening, in his hand, oh yes
Then he shall grab hold on the dragon
Grab hold of him Lucifer and Satan
And he's goin' to bound him bound him bound him
For I-ver more
And he's goin' to bound him bound him bound him For I-ver more
And he can never get away never get away
Never get away never get away
Never get away never get away
Never get away

POWER is the By PRODUCT of PRESENCE.
PRESENCE is the Fragrance of the Inner/ Spirit Man.
PRESENCE is the Spiritual Frequency that one EMITS.
POWER is the Positioning of Particular Principles toward the achievement of PURPOSE.
PURPOSE is the PRODUCT THAT A PERSON'S PRESENCE PRODUCES IN A SPECIFIC SITUATION OR ENVIRONMENT.
VISION is the ability to SEE what is Being SAID.
PRODUCTION is the birthing of a VISION.
CREATION is the connection between the VISION and PRODUCTION.
10The thiefโ€™s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
JOHN 10: 10 NLT.

โ€œWhat kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind? 25Or were you expecting to see a man dressed in expensive clothes? No, people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces. 26Were you looking for a prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet. 27John is the man to whom the Scriptures refer when they say,

โ€˜Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,

and he will prepare your way before you.โ€™d

28I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!โ€
LUKE 7: 24-28 NLT.
