Come and behold the scarlet woman, Draped in purple, crowned in gold. Upon the Beast she rides in splendor, Drunk on blood from days of old. Jewels burn upon her body, In her hand a golden cup, Filled with every foul corruption, And the nations drink it up. Upon her brow A name was written, A mystery For all to see! BABYLON THE GREAT! Mother of abominations! BABYLON THE GREAT! Drunk upon the blood of saints! Kings have bowed! Merchants prospered! Every nation shared her wine! BABYLON! YOUR HOUR HAS COME! Seven heads beneath the harlot, Ten horns waiting for their hour. Kings surrender crown and kingdom, Giving to the Beast their power. Then the horns she trusted turned, And stripped the scarlet woman bare. All the glory, All the riches, Burned to ashes Then and there. BABYLON THE GREAT! Mother of abominations! BABYLON THE GREAT! Now the smoke ascends in flames! Kings stand distant! Merchants crying! No one comes to buy their wares! BABYLON! FALLEN! FALLEN! Gold and silver, Pearls and crimson, Wine and oil, No more are sold. Ships lie silent, Markets empty, Where is all Your promised gold? In a single hour she vanished, All her towers swallowed whole. Those who traded in her splendor Watched the fire consume her soul. Then a mighty angel lifted Up a stone before the sea. "So shall Babylon be thrown down! Nevermore Shall she be!" BABYLON THE GREAT! See the mighty city burning! BABYLON THE GREAT! Hear the kings and merchants cry! No more music! No more feasting! No more lamps shall burn at night! BABYLON! FALLEN! FALLEN! FALLEN IS BABYLON THE GREAT!
