Door Peep

 

Door peep shall not enter this a holy land

Where wise and true man stand sipping from this cupful cup of peace

Not one shall enter

Not one

 

Door people shall not enter

This a holy land

Where wise and true man stand

Sipping from the cup of peace

We chant down a babylon

We chant down a babylon

We chant down a babylon

Chant down a babylon

 

Give thanks and praise

Give thanks and praise

Give thanks and praise

You give thanks and praise

To the holy man of creation

 

You chant down a babylon

Chant down a babylon

We chant down a babylon

Chant down a babylon

 

Give thanks and praise

Give thanks and praise

Give thanks and praise

Give thanks and praise

To the holy man of creation

 

Door peep shall not enter

This a holy land

Where wise and true man stand

Sipping from the cup of peace

We chant down a babylon

We chant down a babylon

We chant down a babylon

Chant down a babylon
