This is a metal arrangement of a traditional spiritual that I remember singing in my high school choir. The lyrics are in the public domain, and many variants exist. I changed some of them myself, because why not?
Lyrics
[Chorus]
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin' up lord.
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin' up lord.
[Bridge]
Elijah...Elijah...Elijah...Elijah
[Verse 1]
Satan's a liar and a conjure too
If you don't watch out, he'll conjure you!
If I could I surely would
Just stand on the rock where Moses stood! (Where Moses stood!)
[Chorus]
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin' up lord.
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin' up lord.
[Bridge]
Elijah...Elijah...Elijah...Elijah
[Verse 2]
Elijah was a righteous man
His name means Yahweh is God in the holy land
He built an alter unto the Lord
Twelve rocks, twelve tribes for the God he adored
[Breakdown]
Elijah rock, Elijah rock, Elijah
Elijah rock, Elijah rock, Elijah
Elijah rock, Elijah rock, Elijah
Elijah rock, for the God he adored, God he adored
[Chorus]
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin' up lord.
Elijah rock, shout, shout!
Elijah rock, comin' up lord.
[Outro]
Elijah...Elijah...Elijah...Elijah
SHOUT!
