[00:42.82]A lot of good advice
[00:44.23]nobody‘s keeping for themselves
[00:46.93]If you‘re playing by the rules
[00:48.50]you‘ll be a trophy on a shelf
[00:51.44]Give in to the ordinary run of things
[00:55.12]like it is meant to be
[00:57.32]There‘s nothing left of me
[01:00.36]Praying for salvation, floating with the tide
[01:04.45]The very first temptation
[01:06.25]drags you to the other side
[01:08.82]You learn to walk and run
[01:11.06]You fly until you fall as far as I can see
[01:18.51]The future ahead was not what it used to be
[01:27.75]Blessed was the darkness - veiling hypocrisy
[01:35.14]Babylon is burning, shining from afar
[01:39.45]Babylon is burning
[01:41.59]From sunset to sunrise
[01:43.59]Babylon is burning
[01:45.42]and you‘re glowing like a fiery star
[01:49.11]And no one can tell if we've been for real
[02:02.78]Babylon is burning
[02:11.10]Babylon is burning
[02:16.10]They say it‘s coming by the night
[02:18.34]to engraft into the brain
[02:20.68]what a scientific tongue won‘t recall
[02:23.17]or even phrase
[02:25.30]It‘s crawling up your spine
[02:26.81]to breed a wicked freak of nature
[02:29.46]We will be a new society
[02:34.14]Headless congregation, a vortex needing more
[02:38.28]The road to good intentions is evil to the core
[02:42.98]The devil and the deep blue sea are waiting
[02:47.17]Side by side for me
[02:52.49]The sweet scent of poison
[02:54.76]hazing the dread away
[03:01.05]This side of the moon I‘ll confess to... another day
[03:10.93]Babylon is burning, shining from afar
[03:15.17]Babylon is burning
[03:17.32]From sunset to sunrise
[03:19.40]Babylon is burning
[03:21.48]and you‘re glowing like a fiery star
[03:25.09]And no one can tell if we've been for real
[03:33.20]Yeah
[05:14.22]Ever since I can remember
[05:17.42]I've been shooting up that road with a dream
[05:22.61]I saw gold at the end of the rainbow
[05:27.00]I was given an idea of what life should be
[05:32.86]What life should be
[05:36.08]Ain't there a light above the shadow
[05:39.98]Ain't there blood in the machine
[05:44.16]Ain't there flesh they'd been misleading
[05:48.70]Ain't there a longing soul within?
[05:53.35]I've seen believers on the wayside
[05:57.58]And I‘m afraid to say, I think just like you
[06:02.32]That failed to pretend
[06:06.20]they could cope with what they'd find
[06:10.93]When they didn't have a clue - just like you
[06:18.65]Babylon is burning, shining from afar
[06:22.85]Babylon is burning
[06:25.02]From sunset to sunrise
[06:27.16]Babylon is burning
[06:29.47]and you‘re glowing like a fiery star
[06:32.65]And no one can tell if we've been for real, oh
[06:40.42]Babylon is burning, shining from afar
[06:44.63]Babylon is burning
[06:46.80]From sunset to sunrise
[06:48.95]Babylon is burning
[06:51.06]and you‘re glowing like a fiery star
[06:54.45]And no one can tell if we've been for real
[07:02.88]
