The Land of mystery and legends untold
The land of creation, let truth be told
That Banner forever waves Red, Green, and Gold
Depending on the order, our duties must be bold
The flag of the Lion blowing in the air
Representing freedom and justice for Jah children everywhere
The Land of the great race between toad and hare
Righteousness is your judgement, not even the dogs were spared
That banner that waves of Red, Green, and Black
The city is under attack the will of God the enemies lack
No communist or capitalist shall rule our pack
The world must know we are theocrats
The Land of mysteries and legends untold
Rock hewn churches, let truth be told
Laziness is a sin, the Emperor’s scold
Our head held high, we never lose, the world is in his hands, it’s what he holds
That banner that waves Green, Gold, and Red
We can not rest till every agent is dead
Spreading propaganda that says our youths aren’t fed
Telling news about where the covenant is rest-ed
The souls of black folk, truly has been tested
Our rights and freedoms ever neglected
But with no fear we march into the dawning
The silence of the night, we can only hear the babes yawning
The Land of the King, yes he is still there
The promised land of the righteous, his presence is everywhere
Even now when you choose not to grow your matted hair
When you choose not to represent histories of injustice everywhere
Forgetting the past, you’ve become the weakest among us
We fear no evil for in Jehovah we trust
Who will win this battle, Greed or Lust?
The Land of Mysteries soon to stretch her hand again
Be still, Zion train is coming, time to reprimand
Recognize the trust of the Conquering Lion
