Don't Ever Cry, Just Remember

I must have stood for hours

The mist of dawn still rising

Brushing from my face

Cold tears of finally knowing

The world that we had twisted

The years of strength and glory

Were wicked and obscene

And there we stood so proud

What legends we must be

Really something to behold Lord

So irresponsible

With the powers of creation

A princess crowned in jewels

Robed in the finest cloth

Dauntlessly invincible

So perfect so unreal

In one great moment judgements fallen

Babylon no longer there

Gone are her streets her giants tower

Disappeared into thin air

Don't ever cry just remember

It must have been my mood

I'm usually much stronger now

I know there's just one way

And this is how it has to be

There was poison in our thoughts

And there was hatred in our eyes

Suddenly something came

Something made it right

We purged our hearts and souls

And we saw though children eyes

Not stifled by the pain

Not blinded by our

Human nature don't you see at all

The wisdom of our suffering

The lies behind our ways

The reason for the end

From the moment I was raptured

Babylonia disappeared

I now return here a survivor

The rest have vanished to thin air

Don't ever cry just remember

The wind blows cold tonight

No lamplights from no windows

I am sure enough alone

And I am sure enough alive

So through eternity

The gift of light gets passed along

to those of us who saw

What the rest could never see

Born to a fallen world

Longing for morning star

Held on high

For me

As this vision comes to close

The last footsteps ever wonder here

They echo in my mind

Never to return

All is done and slowly fading

Babylon she once stood there

I walked her streets I climbed her mountains

I disappear into thin air

Don't ever cry just remember
