Occupation by Mussolini, it was wrong
Invaded Ethiopia, killing us one by one
Occupation by Mussolini, it was wrong
And the orders came from the Vatican
1935, third of October
They crossed their borders
War in Ethiopia
A nation of 42 million attacking a nation of 12 million
It was the beginning, woah yeah, of World War
Systematic extermination
Fight for various means
The victims of the poisonous gas fell on the ground
Mutilation of men, women and children
Killing of all living creatures
Showing Rastafari their true features
Occupation by Mussolini, it was wrong
Invaded Ethiopia, killing us one by one
Occupation by Mussolini, it was wrong
And the orders came from the Vatican
Selassie I went to the League of Nations
He had a proclamation
He wanted to end Italy's invasion, in our land
But all fifty-two nations, they all turned their back
Ethiopians, oh yeah, stand up and fight for their lives
Then 'member the massacre of 1937
So don't come tell I 'bout, you ever
So much, yeah, Ethiopian lives
Selassie I survived
Occupation by Mussolini, it was wrong
Invaded Ethiopia, killing us one by one
Occupation by Mussolini, it was wrong
And the orders came from the Vatican
(..)
His majesty, his majesty, ooohhh..
His majesty, his majesty, ooohhh..
Selassie I wanted peace and love
Only peace and love can reign
