Babylon’s Burning Lyrics by W.A.S.P.

Babylon

2009

Listen close to hooves you hear
Are thunders coming? Dread John the Revelator's dream
Had seen a terror vision of the spirit led
With wrath to reign and with slaves to flame
They kneeled and sealed a kiss
Plagues and pain and fiery rain and blaspheme on his lips

Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred six, six and seven seals
A pale rider and his horses sing
Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred six, six the rising beast
Bears the mark of Babylon to be

Arising with the beast, a sea of men
A bloody moon of red
A whore of Babylon to bleed the seed
And make 'em take the mark upon their heads
They bowed and kneeled a mark to seal their souls unto a kiss
With fire and flames and with souls to claim
And rise from the abyss

Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred six, six and seven seals
A pale rider and his horses sing
Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred six, six the rising beast
Bears the mark of Babylon to be

[Revelation 13]
And I stood upon the sand of the sea
And saw a beast rise out of the sea
Having ten horns and seven heads
Ten crowns upon his head
Who is like unto the beast?
Given his mouth great things to speak
If any man has an ear
Let him hear, let him hear

Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred six, six and seven seals
A pale rider and his horses sing
Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred six, six the rising beast
Bears the mark of Babylon to be

Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred six, six and seven seals
A pale rider and his horses sing
