Babylon Lyrics

[Verse 1] Babylon, day comes the vultures devour you Baring the rot in your gardens And I'll be coating my treasures in fire So none but the damned may prize them They're all I leave behind Oh, were they even mine? [Chorus] So is it our time that's hollow Or is it my chest? Why does my heart not follow Her to the end? [Verse 2] She calls me up sometimes Says “Hope you're doing fine” Babylon, I'm looking out from your cold tower Into a past horizon And there's lady love My lady love [Bridge] I built myself from her warmth I built myself from her warmth When it was just us When it was just us We built ourselves a tower We built ourselves a tower [Chorus] And is it our time that's hollow Or is it my chest? Why does my heart not follow Her to the end? [Verse 3] Bring down the rain of arrows Take the defense I wanna love tomorrow But I love what's left Oh, Babylon, you fake Your walls are built to break And I never came to stay But I'm losing every way around you
