[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
