This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.
Liveth in the hearts of I and I
Jah! Shall smite the heathen day by day
They shall fall
Jah!
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
Psalm 137:1
But the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha song
In a strange land?
Psalm 137:3-4
So let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight, oh Far I
Psalm 19:14
But the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha song
In a strange land?
(..)
For the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha song
In a strange land?
By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
But the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song..
