From Babylon

I am alone now
But you opened up my eyes

I know my trial is
A blessing in disguise

I try to mediate
But call to no return

I tried to compromise
My words they would be spurned

She rode into town
On a seven-headed steed
She offered quietude
And told me what I need

So she called out to me
Said "come now, don't be coy"
She said, "come here, come here
I'll show you wretched joy"

I would beg for strength
My arms up to the sky
I know this trial is
Redemption in disguise

I try to mediate
But call to no return
I tried to compromise
My words they would be spurned

Is it me you chose?
You'll have to be more clear
So as the trumpets blow
Awaken all my fears

In my sin, I come
And reach for your embrace
But, suddenly I saw
My hand consumed in flame

Show me things I can't deny
No matter how hard I try

I am alone now
But you opened up my eyes

I know my trial is
A blessing in disguise

I try to mediate
But call to no return
