sonnerie téléphone portable pour I was raised in babylon

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?
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
