This shining city built of gold
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye 'round here
Look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil
There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world
Sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The day has come for all us sinners
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see there's nothin' around
I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to Hell
We've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where your future is set forever
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

This song is so awesome!! Avenged Sevenfold is definitely one of the best bands ever!!!
priap
they wrote this song, by reading the bible. it comes in the Apocalipsis, where the woman is a prostitute, and it literally says a monster with 7 heads & 10 horns. The wine the kings from the earth drank was poison and sins from the sinners. The beast strips the woman, eats her flesh and burns her. All kings, and sailors and merchants watch her, regretting their losses. the city is Babylon, which was built with gold, but now falls down as the woman dies, it was destroyed in an hour .... yeahp, it's in the bible, all that. they are actually saying they are going to #!@%*# anyways, cuz they're sinners.. :P
