Babylon

Welcome to hell, to the alley below
My castle of fire, my humble abode
Inhale the flames of rot and decay
My will is the law, you will do as I say
Defy me, you die. Bow to me, on your knees
Surrender your soul, it won’t hurt, you won’t bleed
Sinners and liars, I welcome you all
No angels allowed, leave your wings by the door

Babylon – land of shame
Long since gone – who’s to blame?
Babylon – land of joy
Drowned in fire – cleansed from sin?
Welcome to heaven, paradise for souls
The answer to dreams, my kingdom of gold
I am God, I work in mysterious ways
My will is the law, you must do what I say

Never stray from my path, and all shall be well
Deviate from my way and I’ll send you to hell
Suffer through life with no pleasures at all
Sinners and liars I damn you to fall
Babylon – land of shame
Long since gone – who’s to blame?
Babylon – land of joy

Drowned in fire – cleansed from sin?
Do with your life as you please
Nothing is wrong, the will it is free
As long as you do it for him
Pleasure his needs
The truth of the matter if truth shall be told
I take vengeance on mankind, you’ll plead cry then fold
To the whims of my will you suffer the end
You’re all played like pieces let darkness descend
So it has been written, just as it’s been told!
