I'm sure it was the 24th (of September).
That was the day this incident happen (I remember).
My brethrens were all assembled in one accord (in a the yard).
Minding their own personality (of I-quality).
Babylon then came along (???)
with the forces of brutality.

Licks and kicks and boxes
right to my brethren's ???.
Licks and kicks and boxes
right to my sisters' faces.

Oh Jah! I know you stare where you are and see.
What they did, that was meant to be.
For it is the fulfilment of the holy prophecy.

To everything (there is a season)
and what they did they had no reason.
We are they that went through great tribulation.
So let them be brought to shame and confusion.
For what they did without a cause (licks and kicks and boxes).
On the 24th night of September 1976 (licks and kicks and boxes).
Wicked men ??? did so, without a reason no (licks and kicks and boxes).
They hit us with boxes.
They took us away to a place called
no man's land, the name of Babylon.
