The Earth was spinning, all vacant and waste

And there was silence over the ocean

When a voice came thundering from above

The first of your light was in motion

Then the voice said, may fruits be created

And seeds take root as they may

And no crimes were as yet committed

Life was breathing its second day

In his image, this voice made a man

And a woman to love each other

They became the rulers of the world

And the third day was their mother

Now who will pray for Babylon?

Sing a song to Babylon

On your knees before Babylon

Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling

Man and woman learned how to make fire

And the kingdom's walls were extended

On the fourth day, the walls were reaching so far

No one knew where they ended

Now no one heard that voice anymore

And metal cities came to ascend

On the fifth day, spring turned into fall

And a rain fell over the land

But no walls can stop such a rain

That keeps on falling forevermore

I was told that by the sixth day

The Earth was like an open sore

Now who will pray for Babylon?

Sing a song to Babylon

On your knees before Babylon

Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling

The Earth was spinning, all vacant and waste

And there was silence over the ocean

When a voice came thundering from above

The seventh day was in motion

Now who will pray for Babylon?

Sing a song to Babylon

On your knees before Babylon

Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling

Falling

I will wipe from the face of the Earth the human race I have created

And with them, the animals, the birds and the creatures that move under the ground

For I regret that I have made them
