EVER Since BABYLON© 2001 Jesse SlokumSinging like a lark for the King anymore Neither does the minstrel come Hither & thither, strolling here and there The jester won't even roll his eyes As he fools around with the prince It's because that bloody war Shadow, cold and dark, is creeping under your door. Is it the future phantom Of mushroom clouds, roiling in the air? Asking us, "Will you atomize All you've built ever since Babylon?" Babylon! Babylon is, Babylon is still, Babylon is still burning! Can you smell it? Babylon is still burning! Can you smell it? It's grasp of death! Can you smell it? It's gasp of death! Don't worry now, take a deep breath... Let me show you how...Don't worry now. Yes, take a deep breath...take a deep breath. Let me ask you now Just what are we waiting for? The world would be a park. That is what PEACE has in store And you know, we sure could use some! The fire stops burning if we dare To stop living all our lies Who is there left to convince? Who is there left to convince? |
