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
