[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
