Charming, someone to fear

Handsome, very much here

Evil, dancing through fire

Whore of Babylon, world famous clear

...Something to charm

Danger, someone to harm

Falling into the mire

Climbing - higher and higher

...Someone to fear

Handsome, very much here

Evil, dancing through fire

Whore of Babylon, world famous clear

...Ivory tower

Longing, for something now

Waiting, hour after hour

Give me some of your power

Citadel, a prison of sorts

Only the rich make the laws

Using repression and force

Whore of Babylon, city of Quartz

...Someone to fear

Hidden, and very much here

Hatred summoned so near

Whore of Babylon, world famous clear
