Lyrics

Infidels
In a broken time
Our fathers bled the ground
Chained and bound

Castaway
Should the remnant die?
My hopes were growing numb
Overcome

She bewitched
With a Siren's cry
She beckoned, "Come and learn"
Is there no return?

Babylon
Born in your walls
Bred in your will
Captive until
I heard the heavens cry
Babylon
This is goodbye

Aftershocks
And the sorrow grows
Some make their slow descent
Some repent

Rescue me
These idols lie
I cannot bear the shame
Make this desert rain

Babylon
Born in your walls
Bred in your will
Captive until
I heard the heavens cry
Babylon
This is goodbye

Make this desert rain

Babylon
Born in your walls
Bred in your will
Captive until
I heard the heavens cry

I hear the heavens cry

Babylon
This is goodbye

This is both the story of God's chosen people, the Israelites, in exile and a modern parable of the cleansing which comes from repentance.
