So when I'm troddin' through the deadmans town

War, war, who fuss and who fight

He's down in a total illusion
Feeling so smart in a devilish confusion
But a who concludes all the murders and crimes

Well, I am a rainbow warrior in Babylon
Avoiding all wickedness in my heart on my tongue

Overall Meaning

In N.Martin's song Rainbow, the lyrics describe the concept of the "rainbow warrior" as a metaphor for a person who spreads love and peace in the world. The opening lines emphasize the setting of the song as taking place in Babylon, which is often used in reggae music as a representation of oppressive and unjust systems. The idea of chanting songs of freedom is central to the song, as it represents the idea of resisting those oppressive systems and fighting for something better.


The lyrics speak to the hypocrisy of those who claim to want peace, but engage in competition and fighting. The vision of the rainbow warrior spotlights the idea of love as a weapon against violence and hate. The song mentions Jah, the Rastafarian term for God, as the source of the love that is needed to quench the thirst caused by "dirty works" and "dirty words."


N.Martin encourages listeners to keep their hearts clean and full of love while living in Babylon, which can be interpreted as existing in a world of oppression and injustice. In doing so, we can keep a rainbow within ourselves, even when surrounded by deadman's towns, which seem to represent the darkest parts of the world. Ultimately, Rainbow is a call to action, urging people to spread Jah love and be a rainbow warrior, fighting for love and peace in a world that desperately needs it.
