Belshazzar's Feast: By the waters of Babylon

歌詞

By the waters of Babylon sat we down and wept When we remembered Zion, we sat down and wept On the willows there, we hung up our lyres From our captors there - 'sing us Your songs Sing us Your songs' We have no songs How shall we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land? If I forget you Jerusalem, may the life run out of my hand Lord my Lord, I feel so low Lord my Lord, I want to go home I want to go home Lord take me home God do not forget those pagans Who came into Jerusalem saying 'Down with it! Down with it! Down with it! Down with it! Even to the ground' O daughter of Babylon, you destroyer Happy shall he be who pays you back For what you have done to us
