|
I was raised in Babylon |
|
Our priests taught us how to worship the sun |
|
Wo! Where did we go wrong? |
|
They used to call us civilised - but those days are gone |
|
I came to guard the Pharaoh |
|
Bring him wine and women |
|
Oh Lord! Where is he now? |
|
We used call him the highest - till the wave took him down |
|
I was born in the Holy Land |
|
They told me it was by God's command |
|
Wo! Where are the others from? |
|
I thought that we were the chosen - I must've been wrong |
|
I loved to march with the Sultan |
|
And his diamond turban |
|
Oh Lord! Then the world took hold |
|
Let go of the rope of God - for a handful of gold |
|
I used to serve the Empire |
|
On which the sun set, never |
|
Oh! Now times have turned |
|
We thought our white skins would save us - then we got burned |
