LYRICS

In the third year of Jehoiakim and his pride
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came to fight
And he trapped us inside our walls till we could not hide
So now I’m looking behind to see my home for the very last time

Exiled! I’m exiled! I’m exiled!

Took the gold from our temple, from the house of our God to his god
Best of our young men, too, to train us all as his squires
So now we’re fearing our fathers are lost in a fog of fire

Exiled! We’re exiled! We’re exiled!
