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.
[Chorus]

She's a dwelling place for demons.

She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
EM C AM
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
G D C
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
C B D EM
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.

Her place will come all at once as 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.

If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.

Looking' back on her to see there's nothing around.

I don't believe in fairy tales 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.
