Beast and the Harlot текст песни
Avenged Sevenfold
This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye round here
Look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil
There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his thrown
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
The Beast and the Harlot
The day has come for all us sinners,
If your not a servant you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see there's nothin' around.
I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell,
But we made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where your future is set forever...
2. Burn It Down
Jealousy's an ugly word, but you don't seem to care
Converse behind my back, but now I'm here
Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat
Don't need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone, see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, it's sorrow that feeds your lies
You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breath
A crutch for you that won't always be there
Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay
So get the fuck away from me, and learn to trust the words I say.
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Run from me before I tear you down (be afraid)
You chose the wrong side (it feels so right)
I won't help you, let you rot away
Run towards the light exposing your soul (we won't be there by your side)
Salvation's dying (somebody's crying)
We're all gone in the end, sweet child we'll miss you
No, so far away
I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Falling away, can't turn back time
Burn it down anyway.
