Ode to Babylon

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
