Song | Babylon |
Artist | Chroming Rose |
Album | Garden of Eden |
In the Orient there once was a cry – Babylon | |
Founded in 3000BC, with a fast growing strength | |
It survived several wars, many kings ruled in it's walls | |
A glorious place that was erupting with great power and might | |
They wanted to be equal to their gods | |
Marduk was one of them | |
They wanted to reach from the sky | |
To see the life of a god | |
A tower would be made; an instrument for them to have a look into heaven | |
So it's written down, the tower is a fact something has to be true | |
Babylon, a legend that will never die | |
Babylon, a warning for everyone who wants to reach the sky | |
Years later they have reached a level around 300 feer | |
The gods did not approve of their peoples deeds | |
They punished them and gave'em different languages, so they | |
Couldn't talk to each other | |
This was the consequence of being arrogant and proud | |
Maybe we can learn a lesson from it | |
Babylon, a legend that will never die | |
Babylon, a warning for everyone who wants to reach the sky | |
Stone on stone – step by step – ever forever | |
But never, no never, never higher and higher | |
And higher and higher and higher and higher | |
Babylon, a legend that will never die | |
Babylon, a warning for everyone who wants to reach the sky |
