Avenged Sevenfold - Beast And The Harlot 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 this 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 j**els 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 you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground. Flee the burning, greedy city. Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around. I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell. You've made the wrong decision and it's east to see. Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us. You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
