C9 D
You cast your spells upon the land
G Em7
Your lies of pleasure and false glee
C9 D
You enslave the hearts of men
G Em7
With the illusion of being free
C9 D
You give away your copycats
G Em7
You could never satisfy
C9 D
But there is one coming for you
G Em7
And you cannot escape his eyes
C9 D
Tremble and fear, oh Babylon
G Em7
Tremble and fear
C9 D
To escape your fake delight
G Em7
The son of light has set them free
( C9 D G Em7 )
C9 D
Your treats smell good but taste like death
G Em7
You lure them all into your traps

Your gifts were never ever sweet

They are as bitter as your sting
C9 D
But there's a new humanity
G Em7
One that will not bend their knees
C9 D
They're waging war on Babylon
G Em7
The son of man has set them free

Tremble and fear, oh Babylon

Tremble and fear

To escape your fake delight

The son of light has set them free
G Em7
I'm waging war on Babylon
C9 D
To see you lose your filthy throne
G Em7
Until the grips of your domain
C9 D
Are forgotten, old and gone
G Em7
I'm waging war on Babylon
C9 D
Until the day my victor's throne
G Em7
Is seen from all across the land
C9 D
And sin will never be again

Sin will never be again
C9 D
Sin will never be again
G Em7
Sin will never be again
