Babylon Vampyres |
| Aaron: A lot of good advice |
| nobody‘s keeping for themselves |
| If you‘re playing by the rules |
| you‘ll be a trophy on a shelf |
| Give in to the ordinary run of things |
| like it is meant to be |
| There‘s nothing left of me |
| Scientist I: Praying for salvation, floating with the tide |
| The very first temptation |
| drags you to the other side |
| You learn to walk and run |
| You fly until you fall as far as I can see |
| Aaron: The future ahead was not what it used to be |
| Scientist I: Blessed was the darkness — veiling hypocrisy |
| Babylon is burning, shining from afar |
| Babylon is burning |
| Aaron: From sunset to sunrise |
| Scientist I: Babylon is burning |
| and you‘re glowing like a fiery star |
| And no one can tell if we‘ve been for real |
| Babylon is burning |
| Babylon is burning |
| They say it‘s coming by the night |
| to engraft into the brain |
| what a scientific tongue won‘t recall |
| or even phrase |
| It‘s crawling up your spine |
| to breed a wicked freak of nature |
| We will be a new society |
| Aaron: A headless congregation, a vortex needing more |
| Scientist I: The road to good intentions is evil to the core |
| Aaron: The devil and the deep blue sea are waiting |
| Side by side for me |
| Aaron: The sweet scent of poison |
| hazing the dread away |
| This side of the moon I‘ll confess to… |
| another day |
| Scientist I: Babylon is burning, shining from afar |
| Aaron: Babylon is burning |
| From sunset to sunrise |
| Scientist I: Babylon is burning |
| and you‘re glowing like a fiery star |
| And no one can tell if we‘ve been for real |
| Yeah |
| Scientist I: Ever since I can remember |
| I’ve been shooting up that road with a dream |
| I saw gold at the end of the rainbow |
| I was given an idea of what life should be |
| What life should be |
| Aaron: Ain‘t there a light above the shadow |
| Ain‘t there blood in the machine |
| Ain‘t there flesh they’d been misleading |
| Ain‘t there a longing soul within? |
| Scientist I: I‘ve seen believers on the wayside |
| And I‘m afraid to say, I think just like you |
| That failed to pretend |
| they could cope with what they’d find |
| When they didn’t have a clue — just like you |
| Babylon is burning, shining from afar |
| Aaron: Babylon is burning |
| From sunset to sunrise |
| Scientist I: Babylon is burning |
| and you‘re glowing like a fiery star |
| And no one can tell if we‘ve been for real, oh |
| Babylon is burning, shining from afar |
| Aaron: Babylon is burning |
| From sunset to sunrise |
| Scientist I: Babylon is burning |
| and you‘re glowing like a fiery star |
| And no one can tell if we‘ve been for real |
