Ode to Babylon Lyrics

All hail the mistress of kingdoms

You cannot rescue yourself from the power of the flame

You're nothing but straw for the consuming fire

Alone with your thoughts there's no one else to blame

Goalenu Adonai Tzevaot

You would truly not believe your eyes

Every vain imagination dies

Every one of you believe the lies

Now every thing will catch you by surprise

You see yourself on a throne

A pretty veil, a shiny crown, overcome by your lust

All see your darkness exposed

Your smug demeanor stricken down in the dust

You would truly not believe your eyes

Every vain imagination dies

Every one of you believe the lies

Now every thing will catch you by surprise

Not to me, not today, I will have the final say

I am smart, I am wise, will my pride be my demise

I predict, I declare, I will never have to share

I will never see destruction

You would truly not believe your eyes

Every vain imagination dies

Every one of you believe the lies

Now every thing will catch you by surprise

You would truly not believe your eyes

Every vain imagination dies

Every one of you believe the lies

Now every thing will catch you by surprise
