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
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
Steve Taylor from I Predict 1990
