Babylon, day comes the vultures devour you Baring the rot in your gardens And I'll be coating my treasures in fire So none but the damned may prize them
They're all I leave behind Oh, were they even mine?
So is it our time that's hollow Or is it my chest? Why does my heart not follow Her to the end?
She calls me up sometimes Says: Hope you're doing fine
Babylon, I'm looking out from your cold tower Into a past horizon And there's lady love My lady love
I built myself from her warmth I built myself from her warmth When it was just us When it was just us
We built ourselves a tower We built ourselves a tower
And is it our time that's hollow Or is it my chest? Why does my heart not follow Her to the end?
Bring down the rain of arrows Take the defense I wanna love tomorrow But I love what's left
Oh, Babylon you fake Your walls are built to break And I never came to stay But I'm losing every way around you
