Three Birds in Babylon Lyrics

Deep in the heart of stone

The walls are cold and scarred

Where the phantom, shadow figures are

Down by the gates, there sang a lark

She comes at the break of dawn

The rays fall on her dress

You know, she used to be a silhouette

Deep in the heart of stone

And everyday, she comes to say

"Look up, look at the dawn"

Yes, I escaped the shadows once

I listened to His Son

They say

Look how she goes

She gave herself away

Her crown, her throne

Like a fool, like a renegade

Now wasting her days and her better youth

On tricks and charades, but we see right through

Look how she goes

Deep in the heart of stone

No fire, no flame, no spark

Can overtake or tame the dark

Of freedom, they're very fond

Sing along, three cheers for Babylon

She goes at the break of dawn

In that same sun-golden dress

You know, she's waiting for the silhouette

Then sang the nightingale

And everyday, she comes to say

"Look up, look at the dawn

Yes, I escaped the darkness once

I heard and sang along

But no one sang along"

They say

Look how she goes

She gave herself away

A desert rose

What a delusional run-away

Got stars in her hair, walks on the moon

It's a moonlight mirage, but we see right through

Look how she goes

And down by the gates, a dove

Sang with the girl

And suddenly the song heard the morning call

They held with their eyes the dawn

And three cheers for Babylon

Sounded strange as they turned to say...

Look how she goes

She gave herself away

No heart of stone

We've been fools, we've been renegades

Now wasting our days, and the better youth

On these tricks and charades, now we see right through

Look how she goes (she gave herself away)

Look how she goes

Look how she goes
