Lyrics
Dread Times
Words and music by Andru Branch © 2021, Constant Spring Music and Publishing
Dread times, dread times, dread times, dread times
Dread times, dread times, dread times, dread times
Babylon is burning, Babylon is burning, Babylon is burning out of control
So-called leaders
The great deceivers
Still hungry for power
In this final hour
Your time is fleeting
It’s time you stop cheating
The youth of their future
No stitches can suture
I see my mentors falling all around me
The ones who came before me
From whom I did learn
Until all lives matter
Our lives remain shattered
Do unto others
As you would have them do unto you
May the Force be with you
In all you do
What you go through
In this time
Dread times, dread times
In due course
Shall be revealed
Unto you
What you should do
In this time
Humble thyself in this time
Dread times, dread times, dread times, dread times
Dread times, dread times, dread times, dread times
It’s time for us to unite
It’s time for us to unite
It’s time for us to unite
Brothers and sisters
All over the World
Truths and Rights!
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon
Fret not thyself evil doer
Soon you’ll be gone
Like the walls of Jericho
Came tumbling down
The Light of this World
Shall overcome darkness
Babylon is burning, Babylon is burning, Babylon is burning out of control
Babylon is burning, Babylon is burning, Babylon is burning out of control
