lightforce - babylon lyrics
(one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came to me and said: “come, i will show you the punishment of the great prost-tute, who sits on many waters. with her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” then the angel carried me away in the spirit into a desert. there i saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten h-rns. the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones, and pearls. she held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. this t-tle was written on her forehead: mystery, babylon the great, the mother of prost-tutes and of the abominations of the earth.)
babylon
you p-wned your darkness and lead the nations astray
your magic spell has them deceived, they believe what you say
she has become a home for demons and evil things
madly the people drink the wine of her adulteries
she boasts, “hah, i sit as queen; i have great wealth, riches and luxury,”
“i’m not a widow, i’ll never mourn,”
the plagues will overtake you
your empire will never live on
come out of her, my people, don’t share her sins
you’ll reap with her destruction and terror she brings
her sins are piled to heaven, a mountain to the sky
with her wealth comes corruption, it’s nothing but a lie
can’t you see your hate of god will be your fall?
the earthly treasures amount to nothing at all
her l-st for power has cracked the very heart of life
oh, babylon, god has remembered your crimes
woe to you who are rich; you have already received your comfort
woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry
woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep
her wealth and splendour has lead the nations astray
inside her walls is found the blood of prophets and saints
great peals of thunder will roar as she’s going down
consumed in fire, almighty god will remove her crown
evil will not stand this holy hour, in golden flames
sulfur burning bright with power: god will seal your fate
no matter how hard you try, there’s nowhere to run
whoa, babylon, in one hour your doom has come
