I Was Raised In Babylon lyrics

I was raised in babylon Our priests taught us how to worship the sun Wo! Where did we go wrong? They used to call us civilised But those days are gone I came to guard the pharaoh Bring him wine and women Oh lord! Where is he now? We used call him the highest Till the wave took him down I was born in the holy land They told me it was by God's command Wo! Where are the others from? I thought that we were the chosen I must've been wrong I loved to march with the sultan And his diamond turban Oh lord! Then the world took hold Let go of the rope of God For a handful of gold I used to serve the empire On which the sun set, never Oh! Now times have turned We thought our white skins would Save us - then we got burned
