Warrior
Tribal Seeds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Almighty warrior
Lift up your head, for your covenants' with Jah
Almighty warrior
For your existence is fate

For he is Nazareth
No razor shall come upon his head
For the might of Jah InI dread

Babylon tries to threaten innocent but we nah afraid
So let them have their riches and gold and set upon their throne
Jah word is power, his strength is unknown, unknown
Mighty warrior, mighty warrior
Jah provide I with the belt

World under pressure
Demons of the earth roam so freely
Seeping all over
And InI yout fight against society
So let them wear their velvet robe and praise their gods of stone
Jah is the might, his strength is unknown, unknown
Mighty warrior, mighty warrior
Jah provide I with the breastplate

So let them have their riches and gold and sit upon their throne
Jah word is power, his strength is unknown, unknown

Mighty warrior, mighty warrior
Jah provide I with the helmet of salvation
