We come riding on the storm And we found that we are one On the waves of yesterday We burn with the light of dying suns We are the ones to change our lives And we will defy your lies In the everlasting dawn that now arrives Hear the world turn to false saviours And forsake the truth beyond Babylon, your towers burn And still you raise them higher Babylon, you've got to learn The price you pay for vain desire Out from dark ages past You thought your secrets bound to last Through the turning centuries And beyond the die that's cast But we will never fall We'll be the ones to heed the call Of a new tomorrow that's written on the wall Hear the cries of fallen saviours Ere the light will guide you home Babylon, your towers burn And still you raise them higher Babylon, you've got to learn The price you pay for vain desire Burning in the fires of tomorrows never known Running and so frightened Of the seeds that we have sown Hiding in the shadows falling in the dying light Wishing for, and dreading yet The oncoming night Babylon, your towers burn But still they rise forever Babylon, your towers burn And still you raise them higher Babylon, you've got to learn The price you pay for vain desire. Babylon, your towers burn And still you raise them higher Babylon, you've got to learn The price you pay for vain desire.
