lyrics

RIVERS OF BABYLON - Terry Lynn feat. Brent Dowe (†2006)

(Brent Dowe †2006)
How good and pleasant it is for brothers and sisters
To live in unity and love
It’s like a precious ointment from thy head down to thy bare

By the rivers of babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remember Zion
+

Ya we sit by the river pray the most high deliver us
From the evil man
For our enemies are more than the hair of our head
Here we are again
Hypocritical mackers and beasts
Warmongers who know no peace
But who God bless i say no man curse
Things could be better but it’s still not the worse
And that’s my belief

+
For the wicked man carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song in a strange land

This world this world is not my own
We’re just a passing through
Ya we're just a passing through
We need your love and your grace show us your face
We are your people no matter the race
You have ordained it so show us the place
Your name we will always embrace
This prayer to the father i pray
This road is a mighty long way
You know your problems our troubles today
Hear our prayer when we pray
+
By the rivers of babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remember Zion

When we call upon the most high watch how wicked tremble
Heathen no like his name
For the name of our father is terrible among men
Heathen no like his name
Lord know we cry attend to our prayer
The beasts of the streets and the devils conspire
The great songs of old is what they require
Break the bars asunder lift us up higher
We must arise from the dust from the mier
Lift our heads to the sky take our backs from the wire
The rastaman a chant and a burn bonfire
There is no place to retire
+
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight O Fari

This world this world is not my own
This world this world is not my own
Ya we just a passing through
Ya we just a passing through

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
