Chroming Rose - Babylon lyrics

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
