|
I must have stood for hours |
|
The mist of dawn still rising |
|
Brushing from my face |
|
Cold tears of finally knowing |
|
The world that we had twisted |
|
The years of strength and glory |
|
Were wicked and obscene |
|
And there we stood so proud |
|
What legends we must be |
|
Really something to behold |
|
Lord So irresponsible |
|
With the powers of creation |
|
A princess crowned in jewels |
|
Robed in the finest cloth |
|
Dauntlessly invincible |
|
So perfect so unreal |
|
In one great moment judgements fallen |
|
Babylon no longer there |
|
Gone are her streets her giant towers |
|
Disappeared into thin air |
|
Don't ever cry just remember |
|
It must have been my mood |
|
I'm usually much stronger now |
|
I know there's just one way |
|
And this is how it has to be |
|
There was poison in our thoughts |
|
And there was hatred in our eyes |
|
Suddenly something came |
|
Something made it right |
|
We purged our hearts and souls |
|
And we saw through children's eyes |
|
Not stifled by the pain |
|
Not blinded by our |
|
Human nature don't you see at all |
|
The wisdom of our suffering |
|
The lies behind our ways |
|
The reasons for the end |
|
From the moment |
|
I was raptured |
|
Babylonia disappeared |
|
I now return here a survivor |
|
The rest have vanished to thin air |
|
Don't ever cry just remember |
|
The wind blows cold tonight |
|
No lamplights from no windows |
|
I am sure enough alone |
|
And I am sure enough alive |
|
So through eternity |
|
The gift of light gets passed along to those of us who saw |
|
What the rest could never see |
|
Born to a fallen world |
|
Longing for a morning star |
|
Held on high |
|
For me As this vision comes to close |
|
The last footsteps ever wonder here |
|
They echo in my mind |
|
Never to return |
|
All is done and slowly fading |
|
Babylon she once stood there |
|
I walked her streets |
|
I climbed her mountains |
|
I disappear into thin air |
|
Don't ever cry just remember |
