| 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 |
