Are you ready for the Blackout?

One of the most fierce and frightening club tracks ever made, but also one of the best.

I was never fortunate enough to hear this played in a club, but can imagine that it would have been immense.

Using some of the same riff as French Kiss, but IMHO this is the better track.

It is gripping from start to finish and has you entranced by it's dark and fearful vibe.

Sensational track from way back - 1989. 

A true house music classic.

Lil Louis - Blackout 

(Phase 1 - Original 1989 Mix)

Lyrics below;

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures

He leaded me beside the still waters

He restoreth my soul

He leadeth me in a path of righteousness

For His name's sake

Yeah

Though I walk to the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil, for thou art with me

Thy rod and thy staff comfort me

Thou prepares a table before me, in the presence of my enemies

Thou anoints my head with oil, my cup's runneth over

Surely goodness and mercy

Shall follow me all the days of my life

And I will dwell in the House of the Lord

Forever

Imagine this, the lights in the universe are all on

And at the flick of God's switch, all the lights in the world are all out

Yeah

You can run, but you can't hide

Because if we don't change quick, it's coming, a world eclipse

Black Out

The lights come on 

The lights go off 

Black out, at the flick of God's switch

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth

And the earth was without form and void 

And darkness was above the face of the deep 

And the spirits of God moved upon the face of the waters

And God said "let there be light", and there was light

The lights come on 

The lights go off 

Black out, at the flick of God's switch

The Lord is alpha and omega 

The beginning and the ending 

Do you believe?

For God's so loved the earth, that he gave his only son 

Are you listening?

The lights come on 

The lights go off 

Black out, at the flick of God's switch

And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal 

And Lord there was a great earthquake 

And the sun became black a sackcloth of hair 

And the moon became as blood 

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even as 

A fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together

And every mountain and island were moved out of their place 

Think about it

If the Lord built the world in just 6 days

How long do you think it will take him to demolish it?

The lights come on 

The lights go off 

Black out, at the flick of God's switch

Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul

O my God, I trust in thee, let me not be shamed

Let not my enemies triumph over me

He is the light and my salvation whom shall I fear

He is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid

But fear not after the blackout the meek and humble shall inherit the earth

The question is are you meek and humble?

The lights come on the lights go off 

Do you know the 10 commandments? 

Read Exodus quick

Learn cause it is coming

Black out at the flick of God's switch

Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand

Imagine this the lights in the universe are all on

And at the flick of God's switch 

All the lights in the world are all out

Yeah

You can run but you can't hide

Because if we don't change quick, it's coming a world eclipse

Black Out

The truth is now, don't wait, too late to wake up

For as it is written

Eyes have not seen nor ears heard

Neither have entered into the heart of man 

The things that God had prepared for them that love him

Are you listening?
