the whore babbled “Babylon is falling… take cover. take shelter.”
take cover under the tallest willow tree
where broken lovers lay
choked on empty promises
but the tree can’t bear the weight of hopelessness
take cover, take shelter
corram para as margens do mar vazio
onde sonhadores esperam
acordados por sonhos burgueses
mas o mar engoliu o último dos trovadores
take cover. take shelter.
fujam para a floresta invertida
filled with desperate circus clowns
down with Prozac and lullabies
mas com o desejo do enforcado toda a floresta se queimou
take cover, take shelter
the whore babbled Babylon is falling
Babylon is falling
Babylon fell!
“when the Moon is in the seventh house
and Jupiter aligns with Mars
then peace will guide the planets
and love will steer the stars”
so let’s build our sanctuaries
and erect our glorious monuments
ride our beautiful spaceships
into the open yellow sea
so let us celebrate our glory
and march over their heads
so let us anticipate the joy
so let us live through the romance
Babylon fell!!!!
and hooray! to the whore
hooray! hooray!
she was the first and the last
to bear witness to the fall
so goodbye Babylon
goodbye Babylon!
your shackles and your tears
will never bind us again
