Don'T Let Babylon Burn
Don't not let Babylon burn,
Within her walls,
Upon her streets.
All wisdom shines.
Fight the rage sacrificing your soul,
Fight the world with all your might,
Fight to keep the the dream alive.
Let them crucify your generosity,
Let them sneer at your foolish ways,
You have your mind.
The pain it belongs to you,
It's yours to keep.
The oracles the bloody oracles,
Will choke on Delphian dust.
as best laid plans.
go up in flames.
