|
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine |
|
Let me release you from your tangled skein |
|
Burn down your temples and your holy shrines |
|
Sift through the ashes for the truth that shines |
|
No more weeping or wringing of hands |
|
Come with me to the promised land |
|
Close your eyes and we'll go down slow |
|
We're gonna drown in the afterglow |
|
In the aftermath of babylon |
|
All the pimps and whores have gone |
|
All the guilt has been laid to rest |
|
Just remember mother never knew best |
|
Tear down the walls raze them to the ground |
|
Your ivory tower we'll burn it down |
|
And in the evening when the sun gets low |
|
We're gonna drown in the afterglow |
