Babylon's Burning
[Intro]
[Verse]
Building networks in the cloud
Changing genes under the bonnet
Every headline offered progress
Corrupting lines inside a sonnet
Glittering roads and endless gains
Everybody dancing to the tune
Drowning signals in the rain
Underneath a crescent moon.
[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear the engines turning
Beneath the glitter and the light
Every promise growing weaker
As the truth comes into sight
[Chorus]
Babylon's burning
Can you feel the heat?
Babylon's burning
The record never skipped a beat
Babylon's burning
Every lie returned to sender
Babylon's burning
Every debt marked overdue
Babylon's burning
The fire revealed...
the truth inside you
[Verse]
Every book was opened
Every living scroll was read
Armageddon is good at sifting
The living from the dead
A hand was writing messages
On a wall they could not see
Every warning left unanswered
You can know but never be
Pre-Chorus
I can hear the distant thunder
Rolling up from way down under
Something ancient waking up
And rising from its slumber
[Chorus]
Babylon's burning
Can you feel the heat?
Babylon's burning
It never missed a beat
Babylon's burning
Every lie returned to sender
Babylon's burning
Every debt marked overdue
Babylon's burning
The fire revealed
the truth inside you
[Bridge]
Not by power
Not by might
Not by force
Not by sight
Not by violence
Not by hate
Just the weight of consequence
The hand of Destiny's never late
[Final Chorus]
Babylon's burning
Can you feel the heat?
Babylon's burning
It never missed a beat
Babylon's burning
Every lie returned to sender
Babylon's burning
Every debt marked overdue
Babylon's burning
And the fire revealed
the truth inside you
Babylon's burning
Can you hear the sound?
Babylon's burning
The walls are crumbling down
Babylon's burning
Can you hear the sound?
Babylon's burning
The walls are crumbling down
Babylon's burning
Get out now
Babylon's burning
Get out NOW
