Return from Babylon Lyrics

We have become a prey
And derision of all nations
The yoke of tyrants has
Chained our pride once furious

Deprived of glory and freedom
Our blood is running feeble

Father's land
Ancient sand

Return from Babylon
Where we wept and sang our songs of sorrow
Return from Babylon
And never to go back again
Return from Babylon
Where we played our songs under the willow
Return from Babylon
And never to go back again

Besiege the house of pain
Where the felonies are made
Repent for our blame
Our prayers cleaned the stains

Seven seals of prophecy
Riders of Apocalypse

Father's land
Ancient sand

Return from Babylon
Where we wept and sang our songs of sorrow
Return from Babylon
And never to go back again
Return from Babylon
Where we played our songs under the willow
Return from Babylon
And never to go back again

Oh daughter of Babylon
Doomed to be destroyed
Blessed shall he be
Who repays you
Oh daughter of Babylon
Blessed shall he be
He who takes your little ones
And dashes them against the rock

Return from Babylon
Where we wept and sang our songs of sorrow
Return from Babylon
And never to go back again
Return from Babylon
Where we played our songs under the willow
Return from Babylon
And never to go back again
