Babylon

To Babylon, we came...
To watch the rise of Tower 
The Tower of Cain
A fortress of dark n eternal pain

Stretching to the vaults of heaven 
to quite the RAGE of Man
to challenge the reign of divinity 
into humanities Wasteland of Ages 

a paradise of industry and history
a sable hand in a gilded land 
once called EDEN...!

Men Came With Machines of Desire,
Roses of Fire…
gauntlets of Steel
a mechanical tyranny did the same…
That clinched Thorns of Eternity!
The bloody reigns of infinity

Tears fall on dreary sand For years...
A return to Eden 
Where MEN claim...

A Utopia of IRON and Dusty Screams
A future of means and profit!
Yearning for opulent DREAMS…
Built engines on the backs of the damned 

A nation of lost revenants
On horizons golden Zion’s seams
Blood of war mixing with lambs cream.
A Fortress of Praise in a Corrupt age

Babylons full of wrath, as towers blaze!
We find our hearts & minds a daze
And only in our God's holy Rage...
              Can cleanse 
                              & 
                               Turn the Page!
