[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus III]

The Earth was spinning all vacant and waste

And there was silence over the ocean

When a voice came thundering from above

The first day of light was in motion

Then the voice said may fruits be created

And seeds take root as they may

And no crimes were as yet committed

Life was breathing its second day

In his image, this voice made a man

And a woman to love each other

They became the rulers of the world

And the third day was their mother

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

Now, who will pray for Babylon?

Sing a song to Babylon

On your knees before Babylon

Beat that drum because Babylon is falling

[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus III]

Man and woman learned how to make fire

And the kingdom's walls were extended

On the fourth day the walls were reaching so far

No one knew where they ended

Now, no one heard that voice anymore

And metal cities came to ascend

On the fifth day spring turned into fall

And a rain fell over the land

But no walls can stop such a rain

That keeps on falling forevermore

I was told that by the sixth day

The Earth was like an open sore

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

Now who will pray for Babylon?

Sing a song to Babylon

On your knees before Babylon

Beat that drum because Babylon is falling

[Verse 3: Papa Emeritus III]

The Earth was spinning all vacant and a waste

And there was silence over the oceans

When a voice came thundering from above

The seventh day was in motion

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus III]

Now who will pray for Babylon?

Sing a song to Babylon

On your knees before Babylon

Beat that drum because Babylon is falling

Falling

[Segue Outro]

I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created, and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground, for I regret that I have made them
