Babylon

Steve Taylor

Babylon



Infidels

in a broken time

our fathers bled the ground

chained and bound



Castaway

should the remnant die?

my hopes were growing numb

overcome



She bewitched

with a Siren's cry

she beckoned, "Come and learn"

is there no return?



chorus:

Babylon

born in your walls

bred in your will

captive until

I heard the heavens cry

Babylon

this is goodbye



Aftershocks

and the sorrow grows

some make their slow descent

some repent



Rescue me

these idols lie

I cannot bear the shame

make this desert rain



(chorus)



Make this desert rain...
