If you could hear those who came before us saying
Heavenly Father, how long must our people suffer
Now is the time for us to get together
Put down the steel, live in peace my brother
If you could hear those who came before us saying
Heavenly Father, how long must our people suffer
Now is the time for us to get together
Put down the steel, live in peace my brother
Put down Babylon's steel, I know it ain't easy
Put down Babylon's steel, when need some protection
Put down Babylon's steel, and think about your future
Put down Babylon's steel, and stop killing your brother
Put down Babylon's steel, I know it ain't easy
Put down Babylon's steel, if you're living in a war zone
Put down Babylon's steel, and think about your future
Put down Babylon's steel, and stop killing your brother
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
So very bad to see a good man die
But it's better to be up here
Doing something than to down there
