Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot lyrics
[Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot lyrics]
This shining city built of gold
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye 'round here
Look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil
There sat a seven headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sit's on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine
To fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors
Navigators too will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine
To fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The day has come for all us sinners
If you're not a servant
You'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to
See there's nothing around
I don't believe in fairy tales and no
One wants to go to Hell
You've made the wrong decision and
It's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or
Be a king below with us
You're welcome to the city where
Your future is set forever
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine
To fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine
To fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye 'round here
Look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil
There sat a seven headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sit's on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine
To fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors
Navigators too will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine
To fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The day has come for all us sinners
If you're not a servant
You'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to

Fallen now is Babylon the great
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine
To fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
