Burn Babylon

I see a burning land
Like the fire of the Inquisition
Just like a holy war
With no blessing from God
The machine of progress
Paving over our trials
With gunpowder, pins, and silver
Heads that will roll

So burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah
Burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah
Burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah
Burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah

I saw so many people in distress
Searching for a break
The cosmopolitan march
Weaving empty hopes
Caring for so many faces
That we don’t even see up close
Fawning over kings of nothing
And burning their empires

Burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah
Burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah
Burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah
Burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon, burn Babylon down, yeah
