Beast  And  The  Harlot  -  Avenged  Sevenfold

  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  his  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  days

    The  city  dressed  in  jewels  and  gold,

  fine  linen,  marred  with  pearls.

    Her  plagues  have  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.

    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  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  easy  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.

    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.

    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
