Lyrics:

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.
