I came into this world high as a bird
From second hand cocain powder
i know it sounds absurd
I never tooted but its in my veins
While the rest of the country bungies off bridges
Without no snap back
and bitches they say they need that
To shake they fannies in the ass clubs
they go the other route
turn each other out
burn each other out
where a bonified nigga like me
can't even get no back rub these days
ain't that bleak on they part
but let me hold it down
cause they shut you down
when you speak from your heart
now that's hard
while we rantin and ravin bout gats
nigga they made them gats
they got some shit that'll blow out our backs
from where they stay at
Ooooh, I fear the battle's just begun
Ooooh, though we're here someday we will be gone
so i'm hopin, wishin, prayin
to keep my faith in you, in you
(yo, yo, yo in background)
I'm fascinated by the way yo
nipples peak at me through yo blouse
freaky me, freaky you
can't help but be aroused
'scuse me lord less for thinkin
but that's the way we was brought up
sneakin to watch playboy at night
we all must be caught up in worldly ways
Chemistry between boys and girls
is alot like when we went to the woods
and laid with the squirrels
durin P.E., we'd be
exploring each others privates
hunchin with all our clothes on
until we felt excited then, aaaah
oh now its on from here on out
put yo hands in the atmosphere
if you know what i'm talkin bout
now if two hearts done walk on out
and i see you on the next song
they call it horny
Because its devilish
now see we dead wrong
People don't know the stress i'm dealing with day to day
Speakin about the feeling i'm possessing for Rene
Mopin around and wondering where she stay
saw her last that she lay
give it another day i say
but the lord he taketh away
now give it back lawd
cause that's like backboards without the rims
me and my auntie was tight like southwest
before the pinks moved in
like the niggas that owned the ligour store
crack cocaine, pimps and whores
livin up on this earth
before a nigga like daddy was born
but they makin a scene
that my music and crime are a team
but i'm speakin the truth not dreams
so what in the fuck they mean
Babylon your spirit can not die
Paradise for sin and Lust
Mothertown of demons
You had to fall but thy fallen shall rise
In the name of our mother
Babalon; Lilith thy whore
Babylon rise from the depths
Ride on the seeds of time
Legends can not die
Live through the visions in our minds
Walking down the ashes
The ashes of unholy domains
Sin and lust were conquered
Symbolized by the tower that fell
Culture of depravation
Sodomy and sexual obsession
Cults of Baphomet wide spread
A thousand years of pleasure and sin
I’m the anger, yeah, that you got in your bone,
I’m the feeling, boy, you got when you’re stoned,
raise your hands, raise your hands, won’t you dance with me?
I’m the danger, love, that you love so well,
I’m the monster, boy, you would like to be,
yes, I’m riding now, yes, I’m riding now,
wont’ you come with me?
We don’t need them gods, we can become them!
We don’t need them gods, we can become them!
Fire, and the tower came down.
Babylon, Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon
I’m the TV, yeah, you got in your brain,
I’m the back door, boy, you left open now,
leave your house, leave your house,
won’t you come and see?
I’m a steel train, yeah, with no time to waste,
I am the art piece, boy, you would like to make,
won’t you leave your wife, leave your wife,
she will take you down.
We don’t need them gods, we can become them!
We don’t need them gods, we can become them!
Fire, and the tower came down.
Babylon, Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon
Fire fire fire fire fire
Babylon, Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon
Unlock the gates
Unlock the doors
Cyrus waits outside no more
Laughter rose
Inside the walls
In the night this time
The ancient city falls
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
I have seen babylon
Soon to come - the mystery
She'll rise above the land and sea
Babylon the great will cry
Kings will weep and
Souls will die
The clouds are are gathering today
Feel the thunder in the streets
I hear the prophets pray
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
I have seen babylon
Nations drink the fatal wine of
Intense immortal crime
Babylon will surely fall with
Judgement day upon us all
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
I was born in a system that doesnt give a fuck
About you nor me nor the life… of our kids
Keep my guns load you never know, just in case things get frig
Thats just the way I live, yeah! thats me, yeah! as is
Dont come misbehaving, dont take it slight
Behave your self when youre making it right
Dont be a victim of things I do too survive
Cause I wont wish you any good- you Babylonians
Disrespect coming out their mouth (oooh)
Now you get me mad- I shove it down your throat
You know, I burn babylon, wi aint got nothing in common
Words and music by Tolkki
A new day is rising in ancient Babylon
Revealing mysteries to see
and the endless caravan
never ending it's journey
with the wings of the wind I will fly
I can hear you calling me
I am blind but I see
Babylon
your memory haunts me forever
won't leave me be
Babylon
your glory's stronger than ever
for all to see
Centuries have passed by
but your memory still lives on
In the minds of those who see
Under the summer moon
there comes a sight
that stays with me forever
I can hear you calling me
I am blind but I see
Babylon
your memory haunts me forver
won't leave me be
Babylon
your glory's stronger that ever
for all to see
And underneath the starlit sky
I feel so strong I'll never die
I'm on this road to Eternity
your son’s wasted,mama
and he don’t care if you don’t
he’s hurting when he’s concious,
annd forgetting when he’s stoned
there’s too much confusion
and too much pain
your bastard son blew it again
disillusion is the name of the game
try playing wounded when there’s noone to blame
pride is the mouse and pride is the cat
why do you all have to be like that?
Babylon,oh Babylon
your gardens have pools in them now
Babylon,oh Babylon
the TV-set’s your holy cow
the neighbours kid,mama
he OD’d last night
I guess something here just ain’t quite right......
It's kind of strange how
You put the blame away from you.
I understand now
We were in danger of ourselves!
What is our flesh for,
If not to feel our mortal shell!
What is our soul for,
If not to know we never die!
I try to face now
What I did never understand
What are these words you speak
Why are they all unknown to me?
Welcome to babylon
The traitors' homes of nower days
Come feel my terror
Or watch the anger rise in me
You'd like to faint now,
To fall asleep into my arms
Where is your fate now
The one you spoke of in my arms
What was this war for,
If it is you who wins at last?
What is your word for,
If it is us who breaks the laws?
Detest my vices!
Watch the signs I've given you!
I speak of silence
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Yeah...!
In a world of hate pollution
We can't breathe anymore.
We've to leave and this time you,
The pawn, have won.
On our quest for nowhere island
We set off to the sea.
You call surrender what we call a calm
Before the storm...
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know:
"I will return! I don't live my life for you.
It's too short to get burned.
Stand upright and face the wind!"
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Babylon!
Babylon...!
You only can love me if you can convert me
To attitudes of your brain.
You blame us for doing things
That you don't know
You tell me what you'd do
If you were me, but you are you and I am I
Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!"
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know:
"I will return!"
I don't want to hurt you
But you'll have to learn:
You are you and I am I!
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Babylon!
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
By the waters the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and wept for thee Zion
We remember thee remember thee remember thee Zion
By the waters the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and wept for thee Zion
We remember thee remember thee remember thee Zion
By the waters the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and wept for thee Zion
We remember thee remember thee remember thee Zion
By the waters the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and wept for thee Zion
Now that the thrill of the massacre is over
Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins
I've waited so long
I roll back the stone just to see
What I'm missing
Glimpses of grandeurr now faced with defeat
I've waited so long
Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading
where will you turn when you can't find
Your soul
I've waited so long
Salvation's at hand,
Its a matter of taste dear
Lost in ideals you found in the trash
Now that the thrill of the massacre is over
Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins
I've waited so long
I roll back the stone just to see
What I'm missing
Glimpses of grandeurr now faced with defeat
I've waited so long
Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading
where will you turn when you can't find
Your soul
I've waited so long
Salvation's at hand,
Its a matter of taste dear
Lost in ideals you found in the trash
I've waited so long
its time to listen up all good people and take a look around
i know that everything is looking normal
but something is unsound
it seems to me that we are constricted by a force unfair
can't do what we all want to or you'll wind up in jail
babylon don't make the rules
babylon don't make our rules
they try to play us all for fools
babylon don't make our rules allright, allright
i'm feeling like our voices are unspoken and our needs unmet
freedom is what we all want so freedom is what we will get
so put up all your hands together and squeeze them real tight
if you're paying income tax
then you're helping to build bombs
Well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up
I'm a drowning man for the third time
Twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy
Preparing my body for a burial at sea
So put your tongue in my ear
Through this veil of tears
Whisper what's gone wrong? gone wrong?
The world, the world she's a Babylon
Coming in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter
Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets
The pride of man is so contentious
This is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific
I'm bailing ice water up to my neck
Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her
Lightning and thunder
Fear and wonder
Murder and murder
Chaos, disorder
Hate and pain
Will rise again
Nothing remains
Bring it on again...
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...
Inna babylon
Hell on earth
Like a curse
War is hell
Time will tell
Apocalypse meets
The final disease
Death now creeps
The enemy within...
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...
Inna babylon
United nations
Divided tensions
Body count rises
While leaders lie
Desolation
Separation
Sufferation
Confrontation
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...
Inna babylon
Desolation...
Annihilation...
Decapitation...
Seperation...
Murder nation...
Sufferation...
Confrontation...
Retaliation...
Mutilation...
Devastation...
Confrontation...
Too much tension...
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...

Foresee the day of the Lord
The Heavens blacken above them
The day will bring no light
For I will shake the heavens
Raise the flag on the hilltop
For now we march to Babylon
Say a prayer for the fallen
It's time to choose which side you are on
Hear the noise on the mountain
From the furthest horizon
Pick up the pieces as they fall
Our sins wont carry our burdens
So will you leave them behind?
While I've been held behind these walls
Will I be left or forgotten?
They run like the hunted
For now we march to Babylon
In the darkest of days
The mighty failure has gone
Most glorious of all kingdoms
Will fall like a stone
From the Heavens
Pick up the pieces as they fall
Our sins won't carry our burdens
While I've been held behind these walls
Will I be left or forgotten?
Foresee the day of the Lord
The Heavens blacken above them
The day will bring no light
Engel flieh´n gen himmel
Zurück in vaters schoß
Dessen zorn so zu entkommen
Heuchlerisch ahnungslos
Um des himmels willen
Das eigne schicksal naht
Hinauf die richtung weisend
Herabblickend fürchtend seiner saat
Folgt mir zu den sternen
Helft den kampf zu bestehen
Wenngleich die mauern brennen
Babylon darf nicht untergehen
Folgt mir zu den sternen
Lasst den turm auferstehen
Wenngleich die mauern brennen
Babylon darf nicht untergehen
Ihre schwingen schlagen schatten
Färben tag in nacht
Während unheil händereibend
Liebäugelnd zeitens wacht
In kriegen zählt nur siegen
Drum tapfer führt das schwert
Wer am boden liegen sterbend
Es kann nur leben wer sich wehrt
Folgt mir zu den sternen
Helft den kampf zu bestehen
Wenngleich die mauern brennen
Babylon darf nicht untergehen
Folgt mir zu den sternen
Lasst den turm auferstehen
Wenngleich die mauern brennen
Babylon darf nicht untergehen
Nimm mir den schleier von den augen
Ich bin stark genug zu sehen
Was uns die dürre zugerichtet
Transcription of 3 NEW PWEI songs, which should appear on the new album
and were debuted on UK Radio Show, `The Evening Session`.

Babylon
_______
I don`t make
Cash from the belly-ache (?)
I don`t charge for the
Words from my heart.
I call the shots,
Ten out of ten again,
I`ve seen it all,
Right from the start.
Burn, Burn Babylon!
So Wake Up, Wake Up, Children!
I see fire,
Brought by the winds of change.
I sense pain,
From the depths of my heart.
I`m all wired,
Fired up for better days (?)
I saw stars
Right from the start.
Burn, Burn Babylon!
My mind's at ease, to find what it sees
As ignorance freeze now it's just power
My mercury wings, the humming bird sings
The message that stands the final hour now
To lead us, out of temptation
Guide us into salvation
Curse my hand, when the dark has a light it's a cloak for the innocent
When the blood disappears it's a foney absolution for the sheep with no sight
The time is in hands, to nurture the lands
To drink from the sand under the seasons
The stories unheard, the fame in the word
Defining a certain know the reason's now
Save us from medication
Fill us with ...sensations
Curse the land
When the dead walk the earth it's a sign for the innocent
When the base turns to gold it's a secret that the magic's hiding place is find out
My spirit's at ease, at one with the seas
At one with the seas
I hear the decrees, now it's just power
The voices of sweet, so one day we'll meet
The end of the seed, the secret hour now
Lead us, out of temptation
Guide us into salvation
Curse my hand, when the dark has a light it's a cloak for the innocent
When the blood disappears it's a foney absolution for the sheep with no sight
When the dead walk the earth it's a sign for the innocent
Spirit rise to greet the sun Takes my hand and beats the drum Tries to make me understand We're as one in a sea of sand
I'm praying for rain To see desert flowers again
Underground the children sing In spite of what the storm may bring In their hearts a dormant seed Dreams of life beyond the reeds
In our hearts and minds we see The hope that springs eternally Whilst underground the hidden stream Flows into the man machine
The eagle flies up towards the sun High above the fields of Babylon In one claw he holds an olive branch for peace In the other twelve arrows for his enemies, for his enemies
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back on time

C?mon boys when I woke up this mornin'
Boys I was gone, my girlfriend asked me
Where do I come from? Put my face up in the mirror
Just to clock my wheres, first thing I know I gotta get outta here

So I can?t stay, Babylon
It?s too much fun, Babylon
I gotta run, I cant look back
I gotta get back, I get down to Babylon

With the Babylon girl out lookin' for a joy
In Babylon

Beggin' I can?t stay Babylon
Havin' to much fun Babylon

So rest your head-
You're all mine.
And I stay awake,
I won't go home.
Let's go on a holiday.
To burn this town
She's my Babylon.
So rest your heart-
You're all mine.
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
And bleed the reddest blood-
Red as wine.
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
See you go.
No I don't want to
Be alone.
So rest your hand -
You're all mine.
I can't stay awake,
My eyes fall down.
Said I dreamed a dream
That you wore a crown.
She's my Babylon.
No I don't want to
See you go.
No I don't want to
Be alone
No I don't want to
Be alone.
No I don't want to
BABYLON (time wasted by : I
take to the streets A
spread the word around M
politicians and preists H
are bringing us down O
they have a list L
of do's and don't T
they know all your Z
wills and won'ts @
of course that's the way o
that it's always been a
if it's not illegal k
then it's a sin .
gotta keep us in line g
with guilt r
looks as though we've finally built o
chorus: v
babylon e
send you to school .
where you're carefully taught i
then control your every thought u
saying give us money p
and we'll give you love .
send you all to heaven above e
teach you to be good d
and to be brought up strong u )
nobody taught me how to get along
stuff you full of things
just to fill your head
but it does no good
when you end up dead in
chorus:
babylon
for an unseen god you start a war
burn a witch and kill the poor
I've had enough of telling lies
I've had enough of religious crimes
i don't need no reverend moon
i don't need no krishna too
no more kings will wear the crown
now it's time to tear down
chorus:
Easy now
We don't need this
Take a breath
And believe it's
Just a phase
That we're going through
I try to shout
But my words go in and out
Did you even hear me say
That I still love you
We are losing our way
Can't you hear what I say
Like a child, calling out
In the night
We're lost in Babylon, Babylon
Time is slipping away
Holding on, it won't be long
Until the dawn of the day
Lost in Babylon, Babylon
Still we need to believe
When love is gone
We're moving on
Not a long, long way from home
Back to back
We're to proud to face the facts
Though we sleep in the same bed
There's no coming though
Face to face
I can see you through a maze
Of the words we spoke in vain
You know this will go out of hand
If we don't understand
This confusion of tongue
Feels so wrong
We're lost in Babylon, Babylon
Time is slipping away
Holding on, it won't be long
Until the dawn of the day
Lost in Babylon, Babylon
Still we need to believe
When love is gone
We're moving on
Not a long, long way from home
Lost in Babylon
There's a right to your wrongs
There's a truth in my lies
I can't hear from your words
But I see in your eyes
The brotherhood has you all in control
The secret society
They lead you blind, they jam up your soul
You can't fight what you can't see
Welcome to the new world order
The party's always going on
Follow me down like lambs to the s***ghter
They got you livin' in Babylon
You live your life wrapped up in chains
Freedom is just a disguise
Play with your mind, running head games
Pull the wool over your eyes
Welcome to the new world order
The party's always going on
Follow me down like lambs to the s***ghter
They got you livin' in Babylon
The sacred rite, the sacrifice
The black sun is on the rise
Ignorance comes at too high a price
We're lost in a fool's paradise
Welcome to the new world order
The party's always going on
Follow me down like lambs to the s***ghter
Looks like you're livin' in Babylon
Welcome to the new world order
The party's always going on
Follow me down like lambs to the s***ghter
"Babylon" as recorded by
Faster Pussycat
Livin' in L.A. is so much a fun
Boy you is ugly and your girlfriend wieghs a ton
We was sittin' in our car in a traffic jam
And some tourist started screamin', "Hey, ain't you that guy in Wham?"
No We won't shut up We're just babblin' on and on
Babylon Babblin' on and on Shut up PPPUSSYCAT Shut up
Man That hoochie-koochie made me dizzy Cowabunga
I said shut your face and take off what you got under
Went outside Said your place Not mine
Cause your granny's on the couch and she smells like she might die
No We won't shut up We're just babblin' on and on
Babylon Babblin' on and on
SOLO
Partying in a Bel-Air with Buffy and Biffy
Some homeboy says "Hey guys Want some sniffy?"
On the table was a punch and we put a Spanish Fly
Biffy's dog spot And Buffy's on my thigh
No We won't shut up We're just babblin' on and on
Babylon Babblin' on and on
PPPPUSSYCAT Shut up PPPPUSSYCAT Shut up
PPPPUSSYCAT Shut up Shut up PPPPUSSYCAT Shut up
Forever, you'll be remembered as the one who played it cool
Whenever they speak your name, they'll say
It's you who broke the golden rule
But here's what I really want to know
Did you see the writing on the wall?
Babylon
How long can this foolish magic carry on?
Babylon
Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone?
Babylon, is it true that your streets were paved with gold
And did you play beneath the stars?
Babylon, did you know it would all come down to
How you played the dealer's cards?
Remember how you loved the laughter, a kingdom on the rise
Cries in the night would turn you to song
And when they call, ooh, you sang along
Here's what I really want to know
Did you see the writing on the wall?
Babylon
How long will this foolish magic carry on?
Babylon
Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone?
Babylon, is it true that your streets were paved with gold
And did you play beneath the stars?
Babylon, did you know it would all come down to
How you played the dealer's cards?
It's over you rate two pages in some book, your legacy
Lost in the night and still you sing your song
For those who will take heed
Here's what I really want to know
Did you see the writing on the wall
Babylon
How long will this foolish magic carry on?
Babylon
Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone?
Babylon, is it true that your streets were paved with gold
And did you play beneath the stars?
Babylon, did you know it would all come down to
Everyday it be getting more weird
Babylon trying to interfere
Open your eyes and open your ears
And y´all see what I mean I swear
Living in Babylonian times my rap flowing like rhymes
Spitting it ´til
the day these Babylonians die There´s a blast blowing
inside my head
filling me with dread Got me thinking that I´m already
dead now my
head´s heavy like lead but then I wake up It was all
a dream, it wasn´t
real like make up I escape up away from this world of
fake fucks
Meditating, maintaining my mental shape ups I stay
puffed tired of being
late for the bus Now I´m savage hungry and got a taste
for luck I´m
slaved and chained up on the wall of a system that
hates us who love but
love those who make bucks This wasn´t the plan
according to the Creator
Traitors built their world on pillars of fake trust
but now as the race is
paced up I turn my face up and head forwards for a fate
that´s greater.
Everyday it be getting more weird
Babylon trying to interfere
Open your eyes and open your ears
And y´all see what I mean I swear
Everyday it´s like I feel them testing me /
Nevertheless they never be
getting the best of me / Messing with me / Making me
think and act
hectically / They on a quest you see / always stressing
me/ No rest for me /
Oppressing me / Tempting me / like pills of ecstasy/
Heading me down a road
that a be the end of me / Mentally bending me /
Evidently my enemy been
among us for centuries / spreading envy and greed/ Now
more than many be /
Fiending for any remedy/ Now I´m a find it, fuck it if
I have to swim the
Seven Seas/ Got criminal tendencies / They be all open
like Sesame/ It´s
seek and destroy by any means now...
Everyday it be getting more weird
Babylon trying to interfere
Open your eyes and open your ears
And y´all see what I mean I swear
Now this world´s full of mad trife Parasites watching
you and everything
you do by satellite If you listen closely you can hear
their cold laughter
in the night They all around like a franchise The
greed appetite is
similar to cheese and mad mice Give under and they
will kill you like
Christ that´s the price I do what I have to do to
secure my afterlife
It´s a dangerous war, but me I´m glad to fight Last
night I had a dream
they were reading me my last rites but now I done
strike back so my ass
alright Confront the demon not feeling even a tad of
fright hypocrisy is
in the red zone and I´m the traffic light Fuck being
the fashionable type
I´m the rational type always factual on the mic They
on my ass like
trying to steal this man´s last rice trying to make my
mind slow like them
hash pipes...
Everyday it be getting more weird
Babylon trying to interfere
Open your eyes and open your ears
Infidels
In a broken time
Our fathers bled the ground
Chained and bound
Castaway
Should the remnant die?
My hopes were growing numb
Overcome
She bewitched
With a Siren's cry
She beckoned, "Come and learn"
Is there no return?
CHORUS
Babylon
Born in your walls
Bred in your will
Captive until
I heard the heavens cry
Babylon
This is goodbye
Aftershocks
And the sorrow grows
Some make their slow descent
Some repent
Rescue me
These idols lie
I cannot bear the shame
Make this desert rain
(CHORUS)
Make this desert rain...

My last job went wrong 'cos crime don't pay
But then I got right down on my knees and prayed
'Cos I had a date with the law as time went on
And they took me down in a train
To Babylon
There in that place folks don't know what's going on
Sometimes they fade and some forget where they came from
And in the afternoon I feel the breeze
How would I ever have known
This would happen to me
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Good bye
Now my suitcase is packed and I'm moving on
My life is waiting outside and I'm going home
'Cos I had a date with the law and time's gone on
And I'm gonna take me a train
From Babylon
Goodbye Babylon
Now I'm moving on
Goodbye Babylon
I won't be back again
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Come on little angels
I welcome you inside
Get a feel of pleasure
In these vast halls of mine
Candles burning
On the walls of stone
Like a reptile you'll move
Through Fraulein Helga's
house of horrors
Come on pretty angels
Come inside and try
There's no need for hesitation
There's nowhere you can hide
I feel your yearning
Come on inside
And like a snake you're slithering
Through my gate, my halls
my world divine
Entering the chamber
of the innocent
Here you shall fall
In the chamber of the innocent
I hear your calls
Appetite sated
In Babylon
I've caught you in my web now
You're down here all alone
No conscience calling me
I can't tell right from wrong
You're His creation,
Your body and your soul
But in your mind,
I'll sow the seeds of Babylon
Come on feed the fires
Burning inside me
My little congregation
Shall set you free
Here comes the pain
Roaring like a lion
I am your dark desires
I am your ecstasy
Are you scared now little angel
From what's going down inside
The crack of the whip
And the bodies close to thine
I'll take you down
Deep below
You will embrace it
When the devil comes calling
Fallen fallen fallen
Is Babylon the Great!
Space is getting bounded,
Time is getting late!
Masters fall and wonder,
People rise and wait.
Fallen fallen fallen
Is Babylon the Great!
You don't need a coin,
I don't have to shine,
We don't know the reason.
But I need you madly
And you need me too,
Say what you want me to do
And I will do it for you
Say who you want me to do
And I'll do her too
And in the backstreets
All the demons
Laugh as hell
They want some more
Dobermans raising Cain
In this lovely game
And you wait to score
They come in lines
To welcome you
They're shining through...
...Babylon
And the sights
Will pierce your eyes
Babylon
When nightmares
On both sides
Babylon
Watch how I strangle this
It is the infamous kiss
Watch when I lick your fists
I'll give 'em endless bliss
And the baby avatars
Invites me
With their nymphlike lips
Blackish uniformed shaped
On stolen tapes
Private hardcore flicks
They come in lines to welcome you
They're shining through...
...Babylon
And the sights
Will pierce your eyes
Babylon
When nightmares
On both sides
Babylon
Hold these hounds now
I want you to see
The thousand ways
That lead to terror
Hold these hounds now
I want you to feel
The endless grounds
That are from horror
They come in lines
To welcome you
They're shining through...
The human nakedness rides
On the back of hell
The virgins sex up their lives
Spirit rise to greet the sun
Takes my hand and beats the drum
Tries to make me understand
We're as one in a sea of sand
I'm praying for rain
To see desert flowers again
Underground the children sing
In spite of what the storm may bring
In their hearts a dormant seed
Dreams of life beyond the reeds
In our hearts and minds we see
The hope that springs eternally
Whilst underground the hidden stream
Flows into the man machine
The eagle flies up towards the sun
High above the fields of Babylon
In one claw he holds an olive branch for peace
In the other twelve arrows for his enemies
For his enemies
Sons and Daughters of America
You lay down your lives
For the warlords of America
Once upon a time there was a beautiful world
Where evryone cold live in peace and love
Once upon a time the people always had time
To help each other and together them carried on
But some of them, but some of them
Began abusing brothers to be the best,
Forgot about that unity with their vanity
And babylon came around again
And when you ask them why
Them so busy messing all around
With this fever for the oil and guns
While we try to survive...
And when you ask them why
Them so busy messing all around
With this fever for the oil and guns
While we try to survive...
Unos que dicen que quieren la guerra,
Otros que dicen que no quieren ni verla,
Y luego resulta que van por el planeta vendiendo las armas
Porque eso sí les interesa...
Y es que este mundo es una jaula de locos
Todos con cabezas pero racionales pocos,
Unos por un lao, otros por el otro y nosostros en el medio
Sin voz ni voto.
Cómo voy a comprender esa idiotez, tanta hipocresía,
1: We paint our colors to get close to you, paint it black and blue but we
don't get through cause you wanted different colors from the start placed
it in our hearts wrote it on the wall
We mean well till we bleed we are troubled indeed
Chorus: Because our hearts are in babylon, our will is strong but the truth
is a killer and as we speak with the tongues of men you will descend and
down will come babylon
2: We cross our fingers for prosperity I, myself and me where's our dignity
we shake our fists at all the bad there is when the problem is we're the
cause of it
We mean well till we bleed we are troubled indeed
Chorus: Because our hearts are in babylon, our will is strong but the truth
is a killer and as we speak with the tongues of men you will descend and
down will come babylon
Bridge: We need to march march march till the walls come down watch it
Ja sledoval jsem Azbuka
Mnel mundur ze sojuzu
Jak Gottwald kouril cibuka
A kupoval si bluzu
Ta bluza byla z Turecka
A Azbuk ziral zhruble
Kdyz musel sahnout do vrecka
A platit ctyri ruble
Pak v dalsim ksefte za chvilku
Ja videl jsem jej opet
Kupovat damskou kosilku
A kalhotky cislo pet
Pak na vyskem podpadku
Si k tomu koupil perka
Snad kupuje to pro matku
Snad dostane to dcerka
Kdyz kupoval si paruku
A puncosky a rtenku
Ja opakoval azbuku
Pismenko po pismenku
Vsak jalo se mne zdeseni
After all the wars
We are reunited in Babylon
We have learned from the past
This is our final chance
After all the wars
Destruction finally left behind
The old cities are all gone
Babylon this is your time
Chorus:
Here we are the sole survivors
Escaped all the slave drivers
Reunited at the edge of dawn
A new society is reborn
Babylon for a second time
A new start for our generation
After all these struggles here
We have reached our destination
Chorus:
Here we are the sole survivors
Escaped all the slave drivers
Reunited at the edge of dawn
A new society is reborn
Words: Schmidt
(Dickie Peterson)
Relax your mind
Lord let it take
An electric explosion
I said a strong earthquake
And then on a freeway
Just let it take you away, child
Far away
Oh yeah, come over
Come back in my big automobile
And Babylon.
I'll give you a shove
Why don't you take a rush
Let me hear you cry
From a deafening hush
Just let it take you away
Far Away
Yeah, yow, come over, big automobile, big automobile
Babylon.
Now the blues ain't nothing
But a good man feeling bad
Yeh-yeh, Yeah!
I know that the blues ain't nothing, ain't nothing baby
But a, but a good man, but a good man, but a good man feeling bad
And I just ain't the kind
That goes around feeling sad
Hey! Oh, no, not me baby, no way!
Say why don't you take a shove
Oh, come on and take a rush
Let me hear you cry
From a deafening hush
Let it take you away
Far away
Oh yeah, stick it in the fire baby
I want big automobile
Big automobile, baby
Babylon.
Sailed across the water, in search of Babylon On a quest of the mighty and the strong With our swords made of steel And the armor of the gods We will rise to the top of the world
Babylon Babylon
Footsteps in the sand, As we marched across the land Leaving the sea behind We've crossed thousands of miles, With still thousands left to go How I long to see the gates of sweet hell.....Babylon!!
Babylon Babylon
Sailed across the water to die in Babylon On a quest of the dying, and the damned With the gift we will speak In the tongues of the dead We will resurrect the city of sin
Born and Raised in Babylon
Can't adjust, Can't break away
My soul was sold before I even touched down
I tracked down some pieces, the rest is nowhere to be found
I might waste my time, I might skate on thin ice
