| 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 giant towers
|
| 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 through children’s 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 reasons 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 a 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 |
