The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
And there was silence over the ocean
When a voice came thundering from above
The first day of light was in motion
Then the voice said, "May fruits be created
And seeds take root as they may"
And no crimes were as yet commited
Life was breathing it's second day
In his image this voice made a man
And a woman to love each other
They became the rulers of the world
And the third day was their mother
Now who will pray for Babylon?
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
You beat that drum because Babylon is falling
Man and woman learnt how to make fire
And the kingdom's walls were extended
On the fourth day the walls were reaching so far
No one knew when they ended
Now no one heard that voice anymore
And metal-cities came to ascend
On the fifth day spring turned into fall
And a rain fell over the land
But no walls can stop such a rain
That keeps on falling forever more
I was told that by the sixth day
The earth was like an open sore
Now who will pray for Babylon?
Sing a song to Babylon
On your knees before Babylon
Beat that drum because Babylon is falling

I will wipe from the face of the Earth
This human race I have created
And with them, the animals, the birds
And the creatures that move along the ground
For I regret that I have made them
