Resurrection Band - Babylon lyrics
[Resurrection Band - Babylon lyrics]
Cobblestones, quaint little homes
Shutters locked, sirens drone
And, over at the factory, workers on the dole
Nothing to take heart in now
It's begun to take it's toll
Begun to take it's toll
I saw Babylon slowly start to burn
Heard the voices crying
Refusing ever to learn ooh, 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 pleasure 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
