Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Now who will pray for Babylon?
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Now who will pray for Babylon?
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Now who will pray for Babylon?
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling
Falling
[Verse 11]
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
