The simple thoughts get out of hand. An act of clear distress It's lashing out its principles. Profanity caressed The sanctity of sanity. Head high, keep standing tall The industry of tragedy. Bystander as they fall For all who's out there bleeding. Babylon, The rise and fall For all that's worth in keeping. Their sacrifice, for us, for all Down The bigger the lie Keep building 'til you're down for counting Down As the pendulum swings We all know you are Down for counting Down No matter what or who's to blame, nothing will stay the same The bigotry of prophecy gives hypocrites a name Ignore the cause and rise above, 'cause nothing will prevail The aftermath, the bitter end. When simple logic fails For all who's out there bleeding. Babylon, The rise and fall Worth in keeping For all that's worth in keeping. Their sacrifice, for us, for all Down The bigger the lie Keep building 'til you're down for counting Down As the pendulum swings We all know you are Down for counting Down Nothing's no longer out of reach. Constricted forevermore We pledge our lives for what it's worth. Now pound the drum of war Oh!
