Sweet Babylon

Take my body, pull it down
Be the words upon my tongue
Oh, sweetest queen of harlots, let me taste your praise

Let me drown in you, let me feast
Let me ride your seven headed beast
Let me strip before you, and step back in your gaze

And I know there's a night
At the edge of this light
I'm coming home
Sweet Babylon
I'm coming home

Abomination of hearts and sea
Rain your terror down on me
Untame the blueness in these eyes, I'll be the shadow by your side

Oh, goddess of unholy things
Bring me all your beauty brings
Show this wretched, weak apostate where his gods reside

And I know there's a night
At the edge of this light
I'm coming home
Sweet Babylon
I'm coming home

I bet your hills remember, your towers ring
All them tunes I used to sing
Let me try them on my lips again, you know I never miss a note

Oh, dirty mother of whore and thief
I went away but time is brief
Let me spend all that is left with you until I have to float

And I know there's a night
At the edge of this light
I'm coming home
Sweet Babylon
I'm coming home
