My Babylon - Everlost

Traversing

This burning landscape

I miss the pouring rain

And all the years I wasted

Trying to be me again

There stands among the mist

A place of many fortunes

Oasis of my sins

The shelter of my virtues

I’m guided by the star

That shines upon your towers

Concealed within your walls

The secrets of our fathers

Rise from dust and blood

A child of eternal war

You’re blessed by God

The one to witness your fall

When the earth beneath the sky

Did not even bear a name

Were the gods just like men

With their desire for fame?

The city of thousands

On its way to demise

Doomed from the start

But I beg you to

Rise from dust and blood

A child of eternal war

You’re blessed by God

The one to witness your fall

I’ve waited too long

Oh, my Babylon!

Every man dies alone

In this Babylon of my own
