Zion & Babylon - Josh Garrels Lyrics




Oh great mammon of form and function



Careless consumerist consumption



Dangerous dysfunction



Described as expensive taste



I'm a people disgraced



By what I claim I need



And what I want to waste



I take no account for nothing



If it's not mine



It's a misappropriation of funds



Protect my ninety percent with my guns



Whose side am I on?



Well who's winning?



My kingdom's built with the blood of slaves



Orphans, widows, and homeless graves



I sold their souls just to build my private mansion



Some people say that my time is coming



Kingdom come is the justice running



Down, down, down on me



I'm a poor child, I'm a lost son



I refuse to give my love to anyone,



Fight for the truth,



Or help the weaker ones



Because I love my Babylon



I am a slave, I was never free



I betrayed you for blood money



Oh I bought the world, all is vanity



Oh my Lord I'm your enemy



Come to me, and find your life



Children sing, Zion's in sight



I said don't trade your name for a serial number



Priceless lives were born from under graves



Where I found you



Say, my name ain't yours and yours is not mine



Mine is the Lord, and yours is my child



That's how it's always been



Time to make a change



Leave your home



Give to the poor all that you own



Lose your life, so that you could find it



First will be last when the true world comes



Livin' like a humble fool to overcome



The upside-down wisdom



Of a dying world



Zion's not built with hands



And in this place God will dwell with man



Sick be healed and cripples stand



Sing Allelu



My kingdom's built with the blood of my son



Selfless sacrifice for everyone



Faith, hope, love, and harmony



I said let this world know me by your love



By your love



Oh my child, daughters and sons



I made you in love to overcome



Free as a bird, my flowers in the sun



On your way to Mount Zion



All you slaves, be set free



Come on out child and come on home to me



We will dance, we will rejoice



If you can hear me then follow my voice
