I was raised in babylon
Yusuf islam
I was raised in babylon
Our priests taught us how to worship the sun
Wo! Where did we go wrong?
They used to call us civilised
But those days are gone
I came to guard the pharaoh
Bring him wine and women
Oh lord! Where is he now?
Our priests taught us how to worship the sun
Wo! Where did we go wrong?
They used to call us civilised
But those days are gone
I came to guard the pharaoh
Bring him wine and women
Oh lord! Where is he now?
We used call him the highest
Till the wave took him down
I was born in the holy land
They told me it was by God's command
Wo! Where are the others from?
I thought that we were the chosen
I must've been wrong
I loved to march with the sultan
And his diamond turban
Oh lord! Then the world took hold
Let go of the rope of God
For a handful of gold
I used to serve the empire
On which the sun set, never
Oh! Now times have turned
We thought our white skins would
Save us - then we got burned
