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 the 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 us 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
