[Verse 1]
You built your tower high
Stone by stone you climbed
Now the walls are closing in
On what you left behind
Tell me what you see
From up there in your throne
All the voices calling out
But you're still alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh la la la
The kingdom falls
Oh la la la
Can you hear them call?
[Chorus]
Babylon, Babylon
Your blessings turn to dust
Babylon, Babylon
Who can you really trust?
All your gold can't save you now
All your power's just a vow
Babylon, Babylon
Coming down
[Verse 2]
I watch you count your coins
While the people cry below
You think your walls protect you
But there's something you don't know
The cracks are showing through
Your empire's built on sand
And when the wind starts blowing
You won't have a place to stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh la la la
The kingdom falls
Oh la la la
Can you hear them call?
[Chorus]
Babylon, Babylon
Your blessings turn to dust
Babylon, Babylon
Who can you really trust?
All your gold can't save you now
All your power's just a vow
Babylon, Babylon
Coming down
[Bridge]
I tried to warn you
(Babylon)
I tried to show you
(Babylon)
But you wouldn't listen
Now you're falling
(Down, down, down)
[Final Chorus]
Babylon, Babylon
Your blessings turn to dust
Babylon, Babylon
Who did you really trust?
All your gold couldn't save you now
All your power was just a vow
Babylon, Babylon
You came down
Babylon, Babylon
You came down
[Outro]
(La la la la)
Babylon
(La la la la)
You came down
