Babylon

We come riding on the storm

And we found that we are one

On the waves of yesterday

We burn with the light of dying suns

We are the ones to change our lives

And we will defy your lies

In the everlasting dawn that now arrives

Hear the world turn to false saviours

And forsake the truth beyond

Babylon, your towers burn

And still you raise them higher

Babylon, you've got to learn

The price you pay for vain desire

Out from dark ages past

You thought your secrets bound to last

Through the turning centuries

And beyond the die that's cast

But we will never fall

We'll be the ones to heed the call

Of a new tomorrow that's written on the wall

Hear the cries of fallen saviours

Ere the light will guide you home

Babylon, your towers burn

And still you raise them higher

Babylon, you've got to learn

The price you pay for vain desire

Burning in the fires of tomorrows never known

Running and so frightened

Of the seeds that we have sown

Hiding in the shadows falling in the dying light

Wishing for, and dreading yet

The oncoming night

Babylon, your towers burn

But still they rise forever

Babylon, your towers burn

And still you raise them higher

Babylon, you've got to learn

The price you pay for vain desire
