Beast and the Harlot

This shinin' city built of gold

A far cry from innocence

There's more than meets the eye around 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 dwellin' place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit

Every filthy bird and makes us drink

The poisoned wine to fornicatin' with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The city dressed in jewels and gold

The 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 dwellin' place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit

Every filthy bird and makes us drink

The poisoned wine to fornicatin' with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The day has come for all us sinners

If you're not her servant, you'll be struck to the ground

Flee the burning, greedy city

Lookin' back on her to see there's nothin' around

I don't believe in fairy tales, and no one wants to go to Hell

You made the wrong decision, and it's easy to see

Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us

You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever

She's a dwellin' place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit

Every filthy bird and makes us drink

The poisoned wine to fornicatin' with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the Great

She's a dwellin' place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit

Every filthy bird and makes us drink

The poisoned wine to fornicatin' with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the Great
