Lyric discussion by thestu 

Cover art for Babylon lyrics by Haste the Day

I think this song is pretty explicit in its meaning, and also one of the more vocally and lyrically powerful songs on the new album, I'm shocked no one else has commented you guys should really buy the album so you hear other songs besides the single. I speculate that this song is actually tied in with the name of the band, citing the day of the Lord being the day from Haste the Day the name. Just a thought, but is definitely an apocalyptic type song.
