[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
