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
