    Avenged Sevenfold

    Lyrics

    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 thrown but hatered 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.

    The day has come for all us sinners, if your 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 fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell, but we made the wrong decision
    and it's easy to see. Now if you want to serve above or be a king below with us your
    welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
