Babylon Days
Ask yourself was it you who let me down?
I'll tell you how you flew too near to the sun
Then it scorched you down to the ground
Was it so radiant as the illusion
which promised you all of your dreams?
Fed up by London, the whole of the world
And the purposelessness of it all
Weather the storm of a change
These are our Babylon days
We saw ourselves as we see ourselves
Statues can't speak for themselves
And these are our Babylon days
Brеak in the rain
What does it matter what I was likе then or now?
I'll shoot you down, hold your spirit like a gun
Words are bullets for the young
Take a knee before you leave
And Mother Mary, answer me
Cross my heart and count to three
What in life's right and what's wrong?
We might've tried, we might've run
We brought the curses down upon ourselves
Through our hatred and fear
The eagles and ravens
Heroes and cravens
And these are our Babylon days
These examples we emulate
The virgin girl with a shining face
And these are our Babylon days
We saw ourselves as we see ourselves
These streets will speak for themselves
And these are our Babylon days
Sign yourself a million words
To say the things your heart will serve
And these are our Babylon days
(Break in the rain)
(Break in the rain)
We saw ourselves as we see ourselves
These streets will speak for themselves
These are our Babylon days
I'll tell you how you flew too near to the sun
Then it scorched you down to the ground
Was it so radiant as the illusion
which promised you all of your dreams?
Fed up by London, the whole of the world
And the purposelessness of it all
Weather the storm of a change
These are our Babylon days
We saw ourselves as we see ourselves
Statues can't speak for themselves
And these are our Babylon days
Brеak in the rain
What does it matter what I was likе then or now?
I'll shoot you down, hold your spirit like a gun
Words are bullets for the young
Take a knee before you leave
And Mother Mary, answer me
Cross my heart and count to three
What in life's right and what's wrong?
We might've tried, we might've run
We brought the curses down upon ourselves
Through our hatred and fear
The eagles and ravens
Heroes and cravens
And these are our Babylon days
These examples we emulate
The virgin girl with a shining face
And these are our Babylon days
We saw ourselves as we see ourselves
These streets will speak for themselves
And these are our Babylon days
Sign yourself a million words
To say the things your heart will serve
And these are our Babylon days
(Break in the rain)
(Break in the rain)
We saw ourselves as we see ourselves
These streets will speak for themselves
These are our Babylon days
