Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ask yourself "Was it you who let me down?"
I'll tell you how
You flew too near to the sun
Then it scorched you down
To the ground
Was it so radiant as the illusion
Which promised you all of your dreams?
Fed up by London
The whole of the world
And the purposelessness of it all
[Verse 2]
Weather the storm of a change
These are our Babylon days
Saw ourselves as we see ourselves
Statues can't speak for themselves
And these are our Babylon days
Break in the rain
[Verse 3]
What does it matter what I was like then or now?
I'll shoot me down
Hold your spirit like a gun
Words are bullets for the young
Take a knee before you leave
And Mother Mary answer me!
Cross my heart and count to three
What in life's right and what's wrong?
We might have tried
We might have run
We brought the curses down upon
Ourselves through our hatred and fear
[Verse 4]
The eagles and ravens
Heros and cravens
And these are our Babylon days
These examples we emulate
The virgin girl with the shining face
And these are our Babylon Days
[Verse 5]
Saw ourselves as we see ourselves
These streets will speak for themselves
And these are our Babylon days
Sign yourself a million words
To say the things your heart will serve
And these are our Babylon days
[Verse 6]
Saw ourselves as we see ourselves
These streets will speak for themselves
These are our Babylon days
