Babylon

Babylon, day comes, the vultures devour you

Baring the rot in your gardens

And I'll be coating my treasures in fire

So none but the damned may prize them

They're all I leave behind

Oh, were they ever mine?

So is it our time that's hollow

Or is it my chest?

Why does my heart not follow

Her to the end?

She calls me up sometimes

Says, "Hope you're doing fine"

Babylon, I'm looking out from your cold tower

Into a past horizon

And there's lady love

My lady love

I built myself from her warmth

I built myself from her warmth

When it was just us

When it was just us

We built ourselves a tower

We built ourselves a tower

And is it our time that's hollow

Or is it my chest?

Why does my heart not follow

Her to the end?

Bring down the rain of arrows

Take the defense

I wanna love tomorrow

But I love what's left

Oh, Babylon, you fake

Your walls are built to break

And I never came to stay

But I'm losing every way around you
