AVENGED SEVENFOLD |Lyric : BEAST AND THE HARLOT

This shining city built of gold
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the
eye 'round here
Look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil

There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his
throne
But hatred strips her and leaves
her naked
The beast and the harlot

She's a dwelling place for
demons
She's a cage for every unclean
spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the
poisoned wine to fornicating
with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

The city dressed in jewels and
gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour

Merchants and captains of the
world
Sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot

She's a dwelling place for
demons
She's a cage for every unclean
spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the
poisoned wine to fornicating
with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

The day has come for all us
sinners
If you're not a servant, you'll be
struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see
there's nothin' around

I don't believe in fairy tales and
no one wants to go to Hell
We've made the wrong decision
and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above
or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where
your future is set forever

She's a dwelling place for
demons
She's a cage for every unclean
spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the
poisoned wine to fornicating
with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great

She's a dwelling place for
demons
She's a cage for every unclean
spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the
poisoned wine to fornicating
with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
