Song Of Babylon Lyrics - Back To Higher Ground - The Briggs

How long must we wait? 

Will this be the fate from a familiar past? 

Now, when from these hills 

Come the deafening shrills of peace at last 

And he says, "Son, you're gonna burn 

You're gonna get what you deserve" 

I don't think we've struck a nerve 

What will it take for us to learn? 

Your hands are like dust 

As they betray the trust of everyone 

And they all wave goodbye 

As they light up the sky, each and every one 

And he says, "Son, you're gonna burn 

You're gonna get what you deserve" 

And I don't think we've struck a nerve 

What will it take for us to learn? 

This is a call to everyone 

To sing the song of Babylon 

How long must we wait? 

Will this be the fate of a familiar past? 

Yeah, when from these hills 

Come the deafening shrills of peace at last 

And he says, "Son, you're gonna burn 

You're gonna get what you deserve" 

And I don't think we've struck a nerve 

What will it take for us to learn? 

Yes, he says, Son, you're gonna burn 

You're gonna get what you deserve" 

I don't think we've struck a nerve 

What will it take for us to learn?
