Lyrics
Beast And The Harlot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will 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 your not a servant you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city looking back on her to see there's nothin' 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.
