UPSIDE DOWN REGGAE 2

Lyrics

[Chorus] When the gods trod down upon the earth, And see how we turned upside down this birth, We’ll see we burned it all to the ground, And lost the sweet paradise we had found. ​[Verse 1] When the lease of creation is finally run, We’ll see the beautiful things we had done, As the hour of Judgement comes stepping in, And truth finally rises above the sin. ​[Verse 2] When the sun turns its back and hides its light, Taking back the gift of the day and night, When the moon looks down on us with scorn, We will pack our bags and leave forlorn. ​[Bridge] To beg Jah for another chance, Is a lost cause in this final dance, No more delay, no stepping back, The verdict is written in white and black. ​[Verse 3] Yet we held every card right in our hand, But we cursed tomorrow and choked the land, By letting go of the brotherly chain, We sealed our destiny in the rain. ​[Chorus] When the gods trod down upon the earth, And see how we turned upside down this birth, We’ll see we burned it all to the ground, And lost the sweet paradise we had found. ​[Verse 4] This world is no longer our home today, Even locked in our houses of stone and clay, The planet is bleeding, on fire and torn, Yet it was a good plan when it was born. ​[Verse 5] This time no Ark gonna sail the deep, The days of the Patriarch are fast asleep, This is the end of our earthly stride, When the heavens anger can no longer hide. ​[Verse 6] Yet it was up to us, sisters and brothers, Not to burn the life given by our mothers, But now that the world is down on its knees, We finally wake up and feel the breeze. ​[Chorus] When the gods trod down upon the earth, And see how we turned upside down this birth, We’ll see we burned it all to the ground, And lost the sweet paradise we had found
