Sorrow prior to matyrdom
Shall We Sing The Lord's Song?
On Babylon VIII, we sat and are weeping
The Blueskins grabbed us while sleeping
Captives, they carried us away
And said, “Would you like to live today?”
They inflicted on us terrible scars
Upon learning we had no harps or guitars
“Listen to us, gentlemen of earth,
From you, we require mirth!”
“On our world, we are quite bored,
And mocked, Sing to us of your Lord!”
How shall we sing the lord’s song in a strAnge land?
We did not forget Thee, Lord, nor are we running
If so, let our right hands forget their cunning
If, in your name, we would mock
May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
In Christ’s Blood we all did bathe
Remember us Lord as we die for our Faith
In your Name, we shall be destroyed
Remember your people on this asteroid
On Babylon VIII, we sat and are weeping
