Babylon Lyrics

We come riding on the storm
And we found that we are one
On the waves of yesterday
We burn with the light of dying suns
We are the ones to change our lives
And we will defy your lies
In the everlasting dawn that now arrives

Hear the world turn to false saviours
And forsake the truth beyond

Babylon, your towers burn
And still you raise them higher
Babylon, you've got to learn
The price you pay for vain desire

Out from dark ages past
You thought your secrets bound to last
Through the turning centuries
And beyond the die that's cast
But we will never fall
We'll be the ones to heed the call
Of a new tomorrow that's written on the wall

Hear the cries of fallen saviours
Ere the light will guide you home

Babylon, your towers burn
And still you raise them higher
Babylon, you've got to learn
The price you pay for vain desire
Burning in the fires of tomorrows never known
Running and so frightened
Of the seeds that we have sown

Hiding in the shadows falling in the dying light
Wishing for, and dreading yet
The oncoming night

Babylon, your towers burn
But still they rise forever

Babylon, your towers burn
And still you raise them higher
Babylon, you've got to learn
The price you pay for vain desire
