I stretched the phrase out over a sequence of slower and slower repetitions and sounded out what I was hearing with the phrase on loop and I realized I was saying Zion.
The "D" sound isn't a T on "sweet" that's for some reason tacked on to the start of the word "eye" - it's just hitting the Z in Zion hard enough that it sounds like dZion. Try saying it! Saying it slowly if trying to hit the Z softly you end up saying sZion. If you come at the Z a little harder - come up at it from the throat - you get dZion (or even nZion). But you can't really slow it down - The Z needs to come out at a sufficient pace that the s/d/n sounds slur together and you get Zion.
It's Zion songs.
