[Verse 1]

There will come a soldier, who carries a mighty sword

He will tear your city down, Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh, Lord

Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh, Lord, he will tear your city down, Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh, Lord

[Verse 2]

There will come a poet, whose weapon is His word

He will slay you with His tongue, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh, Lord

Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh, Lord, he will slay you with His tongue, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh, Lord

[Verse 3]

There will come a ruler, whose brow is laid in thorn

Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh, Lord

Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh, Lord, smeared with oil like David's boy, Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh, Lord

Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh, Lord, he will tear your city down, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-oh

[Outro]

Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh

Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh

Oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh-lei, oh-lai, oh
