Babylon Be Still

Garnett Silk


Babylon be still while I blow this trumpet. 
Babylon be still. 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
The same that was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without 
him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light 
of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not... 
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came 
unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he 
power to become the sons of God... 
Jah Rastafari, Haile Selassie the First. 
Who was born not of the will of man, nor of the will of the flesh, but of the will of God. 
Full of grace and truth. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among I and I and I and I. 
And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace 
and truth. 

King Haile Selassie I 
King Haile 
Oh God, he is Christ 
Christ in his kingly character 
Christ in his kingly character 
Tell... 
There is no other 
There is no other 
There is no other 

His foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord God Jah the Almighty loveth the gates of 
Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of 
God. Selah. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold 
Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. And of Zion it shall be said, 
This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. The Lord 
God Jah the Almighty Haile Selassie, our Father's chanted redeemer shall count, when he 
writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. As well the singers as the 
players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. 

Oh well now... 
Babylon be still while I blow this trumpet. 
Babylon be still while I blow this trumpet. 
Bobalon be still. 
Can't give I your pill. 
Want to see I be killed. 
Oh well now... 
Give thanks and praise to the Most High always! 
And I know Jah will help in your days. 

This is no time to gaze. 
No, no, no. 
No time to gaze. 
Play rasta song 
All the day long 
And you'll be strong 
To carry on, yes...
