[Verse 1: Skye Edwards]

Locked in a cell for your very last breath

How can it be that, that this is your death

Something is stirring, way underneath

As people ignite the last burning wreath


[Refrain: Skye Edwards]

Friction is turning to fire

Friction is burning much higher


[Verse 2: Skye Edwards]

Men in high places, can't understand

How to end trouble in this broken land

They have no idea and no feelings for love

Just send in the dogs and they stand well above


[Refrain: Skye Edwards]

Friction is turning to fire

Friction is burning much higher


[Verse 3: Spikey T]

Them say me bringing the naughty dread

So now I fight for me life

Can't feed me you, now man me can't feed me wife

Me a feature until you leave unpleased because

Try my call me and beg me for tease, watch out

Some of them may try out to wipe out my piece

Lock down and help me get down to make peace

Don't return to see the light of day

That's why the friction can't seize, yeah


[Verse 4: Skye Edwards]

Red is the vision, flames light the street

Danger in droves as we feel the heat

All coming together, the time is now ripe

Think for yourself and forget all the hype


[Refrain: Skye Edwards]

Friction is turning to fire

Friction is burning much higher

Friction is turning to fire

Friction is burning much higher

[Outro: Skye Edwards, Spikey T]

Fire brought in your babylon

Turning to fire

Fire burning in my babylon, know how

Burning much higher

I'll tell you fire burning the babylon

Turning to fire

Fire burning in the babylon, know how

Burning much higher

Burn in it on, burn in it on

Burn in it on, burn in it on

Burn in it on, burn in it on

On, on, on

On, on, on
