Congos - Can't Come In
 (Cedric Myton)
 *You keep on knocking but you can't come in
 You've got to be clean
 You keep on knocking but you can't come in
 The door is locked on you, don't you know that it's true
 **When the Bridegroom cometh
 You've got to be ready
 When the Bridegroom cometh
 You've got to be clean
 ***There were ten Brethrens together
 Five were wise, and five were foolish, foolish
 So you keep on knocking but you can't come in...
 The rolling stone gathers no moss
 Too late, too late shall be your pride
 You keep on knocking but you can't come in
 You've got to be clean
 To rally round the Red, Gold and Green
 You keep on knocking but you can't come in
 The door is locked on you
 Mercy 'pon Jah Jah judgement come
 Telling the world...

 *Luke 13: 24-25 - Strive to enter in at the strait gate:
 for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and
 shall not be able. When once the master of the house is
 risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to
 stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord,
 Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say
 unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
 **Matthew 25: 6 - And at midnight there was a cry made,
 Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
 Luke 12: 35-37 - Let your loins be girded about, and
 your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men
 that wait for their lord, when he will return from the
 wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open
 unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom
 the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I
 say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them
 to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
 ***Matthew 25: 1-13 - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be
 likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and
 went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them
 were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish
 took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the
 wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While
 the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
 bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those
 virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish
 said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps
 are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so;
 lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather
 to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they
 went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were
 ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was
 shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying,
 Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily
 I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye
 know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man
 cometh.
