Living Inferno - Babylon the Great Lyrics


Questions since the dawn of time

Remain unanswered

Of hidden mysteries

And the grandest illusions

Gather the stones

Crush the skulls!

Break the necks unbent!

I shall complete the work

So ancient and timeless

So tell me

Whence cometh

Abominations

On this Earth?

Break the bread

And consume my flesh divine

Drink the blood

Flowing from the wounds of dying gods

(Unclean)

Slay the swine!

(Blaspheme)

Thy Father divine!

(Hopeless)

Cry thy prayers!

(Silent)

Unto the Heavens!

Whores and apostates

Heed the law of one true Lord!

I have not come to bring you peace

But a sword

"And lo! The holy sites of worship

Reduced to ash!

Your Messiah crucified

But I; I am eternal"

So cast the stones!

Crush the skulls

Break the necks unbent

Silent are the Heavens

But I am eternal!

So tell me whence cometh

Abominations on this Earth?

Break the bread

And consume my flesh divine

Drink the blood

Flowing from the wounds of dying gods

A mighty Beast I beheld

Rising from beneath the waves

To bring the sword of war

To the kings of men at their knees

Break the bread

Drink the blood

The Heavens standing silent

Cast the stones at your command

But I am eternal
