The Beast And The Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold

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 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 your not a servant you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city
looking back on her to see there's nothing 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 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.
