Babylon Must Fall
Babylon Must Fall
The belly of the beast growls
With an insatiable hunger for new souls
He tantalizes them with things of the world
Drugging them with greed and riches
Soon their pockets are empty
Marriages dissolve over night
Parents turn against their young
Children high on drugs killing parents
Blinded by the highs and
Pier pressure many crumble
These things are now their God’s
Whom they serve with fervor
Leaders are grown within the home
By parents who know how to nurture
No one can be a leader if they
Cannot lead themselves
Babylon must fall in our streets
In our homes greed must cease
We were not placed on earth to hoard
We are here to give and heal
To covet is a sin
To share is a blessing
Are we old dry wood?
Or blossom’s in bloom
