Babylon

Cobblestones, quaint little homes
Shutters loced, sirens drone
And over at the factory
Workers on the dole
Nothing to take heart in now
It’s begun to take its toll

I saw Babylon slowly start to burn
I heard the voices crying
Refusing ever to learn, Babylon

The glory of it all
God become a Man
The pure and Holy Lover
You betrayed Him with a kiss
Murdered your own Brother

Sometimes it flowed like a magic
The plesure hid the flaw
But oh forever tragic
Him you never saw

I saw the heavens shake
Saw the city fade
Shattered in one hour
Time to build again
Babylon, Babylon is fallen
