I must have stood for hours
The mist of dawn still rising
Brushing from my face
Cold tears of finally knowingThe world that we had twisted
The years of strength and glory
Were wicked and obscene
And there we stood so proudWhat legends we must be
Really something to behold Lord
So irresponsible
With the powers of creationA princess crowned in jewels
Robed in the finest cloth
Dauntlessly invincible
So perfect so unrealIn one great moment judgments fallen
Babylon no longer there
Gone are her streets, her giant towers
Disappeared into thin air
Don't ever cry, just rememberIt must have been my mood
I'm usually much stronger now
I know there's just one way
And this is how it has to beThere was poison in our thoughts
And there was hatred in our eyes
Suddenly something came
Something made it rightWe purged our hearts and souls
And we saw through children's eyes
Not stifled by the pain
Not blinded by ourHuman nature don't you see at all
The wisdom of our suffering
The lies behind our ways
The reasons for the endFrom the moment I was raptured
Babylonia disappeared
I now return here a survivor
The rest have vanished to thin air
Don't ever cry, just rememberThe wind blows cold tonight
No lamplights from no windows
I am sure enough alone
And I am sure enough aliveSo through eternity
The gift of light gets passed along
To those of us who saw
What the rest could never seeBorn to a fallen world
Longing for a morning star
Held on high for me
As this vision comes too closeThe last footsteps ever wonder here
They echo in my mind, never to returnAll is done and slowly fading
Babylon she once stood there
I walked her streets I climbed her mountains
I disappear into thin air
Don't ever cry, just remember
