The Heathen (Live at Ahoy Hallen 1978) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rise up, fallen fighters
Rise and take your stance again
It's he who fights and run away
Live to fight another day

[Chorus]
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall

[Verse 2]
As a man sow, shall he reap
And I know that talk is cheap
But the harder the battle
A the sweeter Jah victory

[Chorus]
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall

[Post-Chorus]
'Pon di wall, 'pon di wall
'Pon di wall, 'pon di wall

[Verse 3]
Rise up, rise up, rise, rise up
Rise and take your stance again
It's he who fight and run away
Live to fight another day

[Chorus]
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall
Di heathen back deh 'pon di wall

[Post-Chorus]
'Pon di wall, 'pon di wall
'Pon di wall, 'pon di wall

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
