lyrics

The Whore of Babylon

Hello...do you remember me?
I was your conscience before the fall.
Here before the beginning,
before all this living buried it all.

Sold your soul to illusions,
the blinding desires of fortune and fame.
Forgot all your true passions,
the visions that led you before you became

the Whore of Babylon.

Control and the will to power
claimed you like an addict, a moth to a flame.
Trapped by the chains of consumption,
the machine of commerce, that gave you this name:

the Whore of Babylon.
