Papa Emeritus III - Bible (Imperiet cover) lyrics

The Earth was spinning all vacant and waste And there was silence over the ocean When a voice came thundering from above The first day of light was in motion And the voice said may fruits be created And seeds take root as they may And no crimes were as yet commited Life was breathing its second day In his image this voice made a man And a woman to love each other They became the rulers of the world And the third day was their mother Now who will pray for Babylon Sing a song to Babylon On their knees before Babylon Beat that drum because Babylon is falling Man and woman learned how to make fire And the kingdom's walls were extended By the fourth day the walls were reaching so far No one knew where they ended Now no one heard that voice anymore And metal cities came to ascend On the fifth day spring turned into fall And a rain fell over the land But no walls can stop such a rain That keeps falling forevermore I was told that by the sixth day The world was like an open sore Now who will pray for Babylon Sing a song to Babylon On your knees before Babylon Beat that drum because Babylon is falling The Earth was spinning all vacant and a waste And there was silence over the oceans When a voice came thundering from above The seventh day was in motion Now who will pray for Babylon Sing a song to Babylon On your knees the people of Babylon Beat that drum because Babylon is falling Falling [Spoken outro] I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created, and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground, for I regret that I have made them
