Ooh yeah! 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 its toll Begun to take its 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
