But the rock cried out, I can't hide you
The Rock cried out, I can't hide you

So I run to the river, it was bleeding
I run to the sea, it was bleeding

All along dem day

So I run to the river, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
Along dem day

So I run to the Lord, please hide me Lord
Don't you see me prayin'?
Don't you see me down here praying?

But the Lord said, "Go to the devil"
The Lord said, "Go to the devil"
He said, "Go to the devil"
All along dem day

So I ran to the devil, he was waiting
I ran to the devil, he was waiting
Ran to the devil, he was waiting
All on that day

I cried -
POWER! (Power to da Lord) x8
Bring down (Power to da Lord) x4
Bring down (Power to da Lord) x12

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
