Babylon Lyrics - Singles - Brendan Perry

Spirit rise to greet the sun 

Takes my hand and beats the drum 

Tries to make me understand 

We're as one in a sea of sand 

I'm praying for rain 

To see desert flowers again 

Underground the children sing 

In spite of what the storm may bring 

In their hearts a dormant seed 

Dreams of life beyond the reeds 

In our hearts and minds we see 

The hope that springs eternally 

Whilst underground the hidden stream 

Flows into the man machine 

The eagle flies up towards the sun 

High above the fields of Babylon 

In one claw he holds an olive branch for peace 

In the other twelve arrows for his enemies, for his enemies 

Sons and daughters of America 

You lay down your lives 

For the warlords of America 

Not for your sake, not for mine
