Walking under the lion's gate
Bitter tears for a city's fate
Raise your voice in an ancient song
Say goodbye to BabylonHanging gardens with falling leaves
Temples robbed by the Persian thieves
Once this empire was standing strong
Say goodbye to BabylonNever say never
Never forever
Always and ever
Always foreverKingdoms dancing in nebu's dream
Ask the prophets what kingdoms mean
Count the battles our lord has won
Say goodbye to BabylonSacred sighs written on the wall
From above holy angels fall
Paradise where we all come from
Say goodbye to BabylonNever say never
Never forever
Always and ever
Always foreverXerxes tore every wall apart
Let our home with a broken heart
Blood in euphrat but life goes on
Say goodbye to BabylonLife was good in the site of life
All that's left is eternal strife
Baby's riding a neutron bomb
Say goodbye to BabylonNever say never
Never forever
Always and ever
Always forever
