New Babylon Lyrics by Kamelot

The Awakening

2023

[Intro: Simone Simons, Tommy Karevik & Simone Simons]
Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry
New Babylon
We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light
New Pariah
Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry
New Babylon
We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
Wе are hiding from the light
New Pariah
[Verse 1: Tommy Karevik]
How could I forgivе myself
If I was to let go
And how could I reclaim
My own asylum
If my defenses would fall?
For I have always had these wounds
I've faced the world alone
Yet never will I sway
Never back away
From the edge of the light
[Pre-Chorus: Tommy Karevik]
Welcome home to a place
Where the Titans rule
Take me home
To drown in an ocean of lies
[Chorus: Simone Simons, Tommy Karevik, both]
(Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry)
Now swear in conformity
New Babylon
(We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light)
The face of conspiracy
New Pariah
[Verse 2: Tommy Karevik, Melissa Bonny, both]
Arrival of a newborn child (A new born child)
A miracle of life (Miracle of life)
The freedom of a choice (Freedom of a choice)
An undistorted voice
From the edge of the light (Edge of the light)
[Pre-Chorus: Tommy Karevik & Melissa Bonny]
Welcome home to a place
Where the Titans rule
Take me home
I'm parting the ocean of lies
[Chorus: Simone Simons, Tommy Karevik, Simone Simons & Tommy Karevik, Tommy Karevik & Melissa Bonny]
(Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry)
Now swear in conformity
New Babylon
(We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light)
The face of conspiracy
New Pariah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Tommy Karevik, Melissa Bonny]
Another tyrant lays to die
Under the black Babylonian sky
And the crowd goes wild
As they silence the sound of the drum
That led them astray
All is burning
Deep is the abyss
A storm is coming
Feel the serpents kiss
Brace for impact
Shields to form a wall
By the hands of the small
Every giant must fall
[Chorus: Simone Simons, Tommy Karevik, Simone Simons & Tommy Karevik, Tommy Karevik & Melissa Bonny]
(Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry)
Now swear in conformity
New Babylon
(We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light)
The face of conspiracy
New Pariah
(Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry)
Now swear in conformity
New Babylon conspiracy
(We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light)
New Pariah
