Babylon

See the old man on the corner, standin' over there?
His tears of pain, are cried for you and me.
He tried to show us, how and what we are today.
And thought the light is dim, we still can see.

Man made shadows, that fog our every move.
These indignation's, are all that ever see.
A one way runway, with just one way to lose.
This is why, and where we'll always be.

PRE
We make the moves, and then they just change them all.
There's only one way out, can you hear the call?

CHORUS
Don't cry for Babylon, it served you well along the way.
Don't cry for Babylon, your tears will just waste away the day.

We live as one, among all the dead.
Looking for, yesterday's promises.
As one world, we can march on straight ahead.
But all alone, we just lessen our chances.
The old man's gone, and left this wretched place.
Turned away, and dried all his tears.
No longer cries, for us now he knows.
Our future lies, in our hopes and fears.

The damage done and time, we can't turn it back.
We're out here on the run, making up what we lack. (we gotta get back)

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We rape this world, with no stone unturned, a dying dog is left to die.
The air is thick, the water burns, from the ground up to the open sky!!
