When I rise up every day, 'pon my bending knees I pray.
Jah protect I all the way, from my enemies I say, now:
Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.

In dis ya wicked and perilous times,
Persecutors fight 'gainst I.
Dem a try to take my life,
I survive all war and strife.
Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.
(no they coulda never, can't tek me bredda)
Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.

(..)

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego,
In a de furnace they had to go.
King Nebuchadnezzar him never know,
The Angels guide dem.
Blazing fire.. (guide them Angels) can't touch Rasta.
Blazing fire.. (blazin' fire) can't touch Rasta.

Turn up the fire, me say turn up the flame,
Burn out the wickedheart, send them down the drain, again:
Turn up the fire, me say turn up the flame,
Me see that the wickedman, going down the drain.
Blaze up the fire, blaze up the flame,
Righteousness the ghetto youth dem sustain.
Blaze up the fire, blaze up the flame,
A Rastafari put the fire 'pon dem.

Blazing fire.. (still blazin') can't touch Rasta.
Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.

There's no water that can quench the thirst,
Of Satan who lives in the underworld.
Yo, it's getting from bad to worse,
Who Jah Jah bless no man on earth can curse.
It a go dreader when Judgement come,
In the battle Armageddon.
Iron Lion Zion.
It a go rain brimstone and a:
Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.
Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.

Fire to the Vatican.

Fire to the Babylon.
The whole a dem a Ginal.
Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.

Blazing fire.. can't touch Rasta.
