Testo Babylon - Tamino

Babylon

Babylon, day comes the vultures devour you
Baring the rot in your gardens
And I'll be coating my treasures in fire
So none but the damned may prize them

They're all I leave behind
Oh were they even mine

So is it our time that's hollow
Or is it my chest
Why does my heart not follow
Her to the end

She calls me up sometimes
Says hope you're doing fine

Babylon, I'm looking out from your cold tower
Into a past horizon
And there's lady love
My lady love

I built myself from her warmth
I built myself from her warmth
When it was just us
When it was just us

We built ourselves a tower
We built ourselves a tower

And is it our time that's hollow
Or is it my chest
Why does my heart not follow
Her to the end

Bring down the rain of arrows
Take the defense
I wanna love tomorrow
But I love what's left

Oh Babylon you fake
Your walls are built to break
And I never came to stay
But I'm losing every way around you
