"Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!" –Revelation 18:2
This song is a reflection of things to come —mainly based from Revelation— as we see imagery of a blackened sun, the moon turned red as blood and meteorites falling from the sky. Of course, Bono makes this a personal confliction, as thoughts of being consumed as a martyr, during the Second Coming of the Lord, plague him. He is also divided between his faith and the world (which will surely end up as Babylon).
