Redemption Army

Info

(Borne to Heaven / Born in Babylon

Born in Heaven / Born in Babylon)


Took a dive out to the desert

Where the Gods believe no more

(and) those who sing for love are twisted

'till their souls are left to rot


Took a dive out to the mountains

But did I dig in too deep?

Yet if still there's a believer

That believer will be me


When I saw sin, then I understood

Like the mountain, I shall not be moved


Took a dive out, took a dive out

To the Cities of the Plain

But I didn't need go far out

To see this was not in vain


If there is a cross still in this land

Then there's proof the kingdom is to come


Like the mountain, I shall not be moved

When I saw her, then I understood


"Ships tempest-tossed

will find a harbour in some bay,

and so we may"

-Oscar Wilde
