Leaving Babylon

Lyrics

[1st verse]
It's been slowly killing us,
We're in a world we cannot trust,
A place that will remain unjust

[2nd verse]
What is now is what once was,
We're suffering now all because,
We didn't want to make a fuss,
They told us to stay hush-hush

[Bridge]
But now the chips are falling,
And Jericho is tumbling down,
Another way of life is calling,
This place we're in will no longer be around

[Chorus]
It's time to leave Babylon,
And head to the streets of gold,
Because it will soon be gone,
And all within it will be old

It's time to leave Babylon,
And search for the pearly gates,
'Cause when it's all said and done,
Trying to get out, might be too late

[3rd verse]
It's taken pieces of our soul,
Inside us, it's left a big hole,
Can't count the many things it stole,
When it took its biggest toll

[4th verse]
It's winter and we're bleeding cold,
We barely have any hope to hold,
All our dreams left long ago,
And now the sun is setting low

[Bridge]
Hear the mountains rumble,
As the powers that be come crashing down,
This whole place will crumble,
And we might not even hear the sound

[Chorus]
It's time to leave Babylon,
And head to the streets of gold,
Because it will soon be gone,
And all within it will be old

It's time to leave Babylon,
And search for the pearly gates,
'Cause when it's all said and done,
Trying to get out, might be too late

[1st verse]
It's been slowly killing us,
We're in a world we cannot trust,
A place that will remain unjust
