Inner Terrestrials Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As Babylon burns to ash in the fire of its lies
Riot, riot did I hear you say?
It's only a matter of time; you know every dog has its day
All of the youth shall witness the day that Babylon shall burn
Anger, I feel the anger burn
But the sun, the bright sun still shines
And I give thanks for that, its blessings and I hope that there's still time
All of the youth…
It's time to heal and to fight this bile
With a positive attack dropping bombs of sound in a South London style
Because life, life is yours to live
So big up the vibe and show the darkness what a warrior can give!
