In Babylon

from Elephants by Aaron Strumpel

/

lyrics

if i forget you o jerusalem
may my right hand forget its skill
may my tongue stand still
if i forget you

if i can’t find joy in you o jerusalem
may my mind shut down
may my heart drop down
if i can’t find joy in you

in babylon i put down my harp
in babylon i crushed my flutes
in babylon i burned my drums
in babylon i forgot who i was

no one really knows
the trouble i’ve seen
