Beast And The Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold
This shining city built of gold,
a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye 'round here,
look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast,
ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne,
but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned wine
to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The city days
The city dressed in jewels and gold,
fine linen, marred with pearls.
Her plagues have come all at once as her
mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world,
sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss
with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned
wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The day has come for all us sinners.
If you're not a servant,
you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin' back on her to see
there's nothing around.
I don't believe in fairytales
and no one wants to go to hell.
You've made the wrong
decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above
or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city
where your future is set forever.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned
wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned wine
to fornicating with our kings.
fallen now is Babylon the Great
