[00:07.410]By the rivers dark
[00:25.20]I wandered on
[00:27.700]I lived my life
[00:34.570]In Babylon
[00:37.380]And I did forget
[00:43.620]My holy song:
[00:45.610]And I had no strength
[00:52.660]In Babylon
[00:55.220]By the rivers dark
[01:01.590]Where I could not see
[01:03.770]Who was waiting there
[01:10.780]Who was hunting me
[01:13.460]And he cut my lip
[01:20.140]And he cut my heart
[01:22.320]So I could not drink
[01:32.200]From the river dark
[01:36.940]And he covered me
[01:38.500]And I saw within
[01:39.940]My lawless heart
[01:47.240]And my wedding ring
[01:50.480]I did not know
[01:56.470]And I could not see
[01:58.780]Who was waiting there
[02:05.580]Who was hunting me
[02:07.890]By the rivers dark
[02:14.880]I panicked on
[02:17.130]I belonged the last
[02:24.60]To Babylon
[02:26.240]Then he struck my heart
[02:33.590]With a deadly force
[02:35.400]And he said This heart
[02:42.200]It is not yours
[02:45.190]And he gave the wind
[02:51.370]My wedding ring:
[02:55.860]And he circled us
[03:00.500]With everything
[03:02.930]By the rivers dark
[03:11.860]In a wounded dawn
[03:14.170]I live my life
[03:21.30]In Babylon
[03:22.650]Though I take my song
[03:29.940]From a withered limb
[03:31.700]Both song and tree
[03:39.740]They sing for him
[03:42.50]Be the truth unsaid
[03:48.790]And the blessing gone
[03:50.540]If I forget
[03:58.220]My Babylon
[04:02.910]I did not know
[04:05.820]And I could not see
[04:08.620]Who was waiting there
[04:15.800]Who was hunting me
[04:18.240]By the rivers dark
[04:24.920]Where it all goes on:
[04:27.550]By the rivers dark
[04:34.230]In Babylon

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
