[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Brian Fair, Matt Bachand, Jon Donais]

A spark will soon ignite

Burning flame of the light, a fire that will purify

Wipe away the city's lies, reducing fortunes into ash

Tear apart your useless mask

Nowhere left for you to hide

Damned for your foolish pride

Chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon


[Pre-Chorus: Brian Fair]

Revelations time is now

Your world will crumble to the ground

Final judgement now has come

This is the Armageddon


[Chorus 1: Brian Fair]

A eulogy for the modern man, enslaved and devoured

By the strength of it's demands

A eulogy for the modern man, hide your head and cower

Or be struck down where you stand

[Verse 2: Brian Fair, Matt Bachand, Jon Donais]

To advance in truth and rights

To advance in love and light

The path of righteousness is leading

The songs of I and I are pleading

In the grace of Mt. Zion

With the strength of a lion

All barriers shall be broken

All hearts alight and open

Chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon


[Pre-Chorus: Brian Fair]

Revelations time is now

Your world will crumble to the ground

Final judgement now has come

This is the Armageddon


[Chorus 1: Brian Fair]

A eulogy for the modern man, enslaved and devoured

By the strength of it's demands

A eulogy for the modern man, hide your head and cower

Or be struck down where you stand


[Chorus 2: Brian Fair]

A fire burns in Babylon

A fire burns in Babylon

A fire burns in Babylon

A fire burns in Babylon


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus 2: Brian Fair]

A fire burns in Babylon

A fire burns in Babylon

A fire burns in Babylon

A fire burns in Babylon


[Outro: Brian Fair]

A fire burns in Babylon

Your world will burn

Your world will burn
