philip glass - babylon lyrics

Loading...

by the rivers dark
i wandered on
i lived my life
in babylon

and i did forget
my holy song
and i had no strength
in babylon

by the rivers dark
where i could not see
who was waiting there
who was hunting me
and he cut my lip
and he cut my heart
so i could not drink
from the river dark

and he covered me
and i saw within
my lawless heart
and my wedding ring

i did not know
and i could not see
who was waiting there
who was hunting me
by the rivers dark
i panicked on
i belonged at last
to babylon

then he struck my heart
with a deadly force
and he said: “this heart
it is not yours!”

and he gave the wind
my wedding ring
and he circled me
with everything

by the rivers dark
in a wounded dawn
i live my life
in babylon

though i take my song
from a withered limb
both song and tree
they sing for him

be the truth unsaid
and the blessing gone
if i forget
my babylon
i did not know
and i could not see
who was waiting there
who was hunting me

by the rivers dark
where it all goes on
by the rivers dark
in babylon
