[Verse 1] I must confess I've tried my best Temptation's curse is cruel I promise I've tried to hide from my mind But I always seem to lose One cold wet night A shattered light Shot out straight from the moon It led me to a hopeless truth I could've only found alone
[Verse 2] It showed me times when I was cold Desire's lonely fool Love to fuck, but then think, "I wanna hang off a brink" My heart alone and disowned It revealed just when I had no reason No credentials to loan
[Verse 3] So I used to find wicked comfort in lying To people I love the most But now they're gone, they've left me drawn I laugh and bleed alone My hands are splintered through their palms No, I can't reach for hope
[Verse 4] The lights still shone, so bright upon My wretched reflection My soul, a starved ugly mule Collapsing under the weight of A thousand angel sinds Millions of children's cold dark, dreams Bad luck and destiny drown me In my sea of selfish schemes [Verse 5] I used to see myself so clear It's strangers lustful minds Clearer than I've ever seen Looking through my own dreary eyes From pretty boys, who filled short joys My mother, my dog, my home
[Verse 6] They don't know just what I've done Or the depths of the debt I owe That no honesty could ever repay Through sacrifice alone So I'll condemn the earth to die screaming My name from babylon So I'll condemn the earth to die screaming My name from bablyon
[Outro] Oh blood-red babylon Burning babylon Blood-red babylonTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
