Lyrics

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
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
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-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
