Songtext von By The Rivers Dark

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 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
