The Walls of Babylon Lyrics

Down the plains, come hell riders
Blood of ice and hissing breath
Consumed by lust, into battle
Staring down the eyes of death

Skies of red-winged thunder
Breathing lightning fire
Invaders, light slayers
Cut down the fiends and betrayers
Dark destroyers, can't avoid or deny us

War hammer of the Gods
Bring down the Walls of Babylon

Legions of lies, beating down the lamb
Wings of war, they pulverize
Wrath is my name, feel the hatred
Hurling defiance toward the skies

Skies of red-winged thunder
Breathing lightning fire
Flesh churning, blood burning
The gears of war ever turning with conviction
Malediction is king

War hammer of the Gods
Bring down the Walls of Babylon

So here I stand, beyond apocalypse
God of pain, in lethal stealth
Casualty of pride, I will never be denied
A lord of war, at war with myself

Skies of red-winged thunder
Breathing lightning fire
Earth shaking, bones breaking
The hand of fate dominating
One by one, the stars are falling

War hammer of the Gods
Bring down the Walls of Babylon

This song is, once again, Satan speaking about the apocolypse/the rise of evil in the end times in his last battle with God

Songs pretty accurate to me, even without trying to interpret the lyrics frankly.

Not Valid

Quite possibly the greatest song on the album. The instrumental intro is a masterpiece, and the chorus choir effects are great.

these lyrics are horribly wrong and make no sense who ever wrote them here needs to do some better research or just not post again...

Down the place, come hell riders Blood on ice resign breath Consumed by this lust into battle Staring down the lies of dead

Skies are mad with thunder With the lightning fire

Invaders Like Slayers Calm down the freedom betrayers Dark destroyer Can't avoid or deny us

Forever on the dust Bring down the walls of Babylon

Legions of lights Beating down the Ma'am Wings of war they pulverize Wrath this my life Feel the hatred

Crawling defying store the skies

Skies are mad with thunder With the lightning fire

Flesh tearing Blood pouring The veils of one are returning With conviction now addiction is king

Forever on the dust Bring down the walls of Babylon

So you'll right step Beyond the populous God of Pain In evil still

Casualty is a pride I will never be a lord A lord of war and war with myself

Skies are mad with thunder With the lightning fire

Earth shaken Outbreaken The hands of fates annulated One by one the stars are falling

Forever on the dust Bring down the walls of Babylon

I like this song a little but I can't help but think that this would've been better off if done by a band like Therion
