Cockroach Prophets

The Sacking of Babylon

well, I pave my road
on and on
and we made our way
to babylon
oh, boys, to babylon

it is true, they say
that there meet all fates
and I'll play a song
when I reach her gates
of a fallen kind
and she'll fall in kind

but she cut my hands
and my gentle heart
so I could not play
this sacred harp
oh, blast it all
I was left to scrawl

cause when you play
like it's truly
yes, truly yours
she just gives the wind

your golden voice
and you're left there thinner
than you was before

so it was last night that we told her
that we'll jump the border
and we pulled a heist
oh, sweet jesus christ
we left her hangin'
from the castle walls

well the road may go
on and on
but if there's one thing I know
I've seen the dawn
of babylon

an' it was all well and good
and i'd stay if I could
but if there ain't no joys
christ, i left all the boys
in babylon
