I can't find this song

Post by epfeffer »

I used to have an old tape with a song on it but I can't find that sone on itunes or anywhere on the internet. The lyrics went, "Jah is not coming back with water, but with fire. Fire to burn dem wicked." Another line from the song was "Why do them weep and wail and them people imagine vain things." Does anyone know the artist or name of that song???? Thanks.

no, it's none of those. i taped off the radio back in the 80s, so that's why i don't know the artist. it sounds like early jacob miller, but i don't think it is because i think all of his stuff is on itunes. thanks for the help, though.

Not sure if we are thinking of the same song, it's bugging me now that I can't think which track I've heard that lyric in. The problem is with it being lifted from the bible it could be in any number of songs, good luck

the only thing i have it on is an old tape, for which i have no devive to play anymore. it's killing me because i've replaced almost all my old reggae albums and tapes with mp3s, but i've been searching for this song for years and can't find it. it goes like this:

jah is not coming back with water, but with fyah, fyah
coming back with fyah fe burn dem wicked, wicked
(repeat)

brimtone and fyah, fyah
brimstone and fyay, fyah
coming back with fyah fe burn dem wicked, wicked

oh, why do them weep and wail, and dem people imagine vain things
(repeat)

i can't remember any of the other lyrics, but it's an awesome song and i wish i could get it back. yea, the lyrics are biblical--and that's all i get when i search the net. lot of great songs on itunes with the words brimstone and fyah in the titles, but can't find this one.

no, that's not it...thanks for the input, though. it's got a similar chorus refrain, but that's not it. maybe it only exists now on vinyl.
