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?
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
