Babylon

In the Orient there once swa a city - Babylon
Founded in 3000 BC, with a fast growing strength
It survived several wars, many kings ruled it´s walls
A glorious place that wa erupting with great power and might

They wanted to be equal to their gods, Marduk was one of them
They wanted to reached for the sky, to see the life of a god
A tower would be made; an instrument for them to have a look into heaven
So it´s written down, the tower is a fact, something has to be true

CHORUS:
Babylon, a legend that will never die
Babylon, a warning for everyone, who wants to reach the sky

Years later they have reached a level around 300 feet
The gods did not approve of their peoples deeds
They punished them an gave ´em different languages, so they couldn´t talk to each other
This was the consequence of being arrogant and proud - maybe we can learn a lesson from it

CHORUS:
Babylon, a legend that will never die
Babylon, a warning for everyone, who wants to reach the sky

Stone on stone - step by step - ever forever
But never, no never, never higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher

CHORUS:
Babylon, a legend that will never die
Babylon, a warning for everyone, who wants to reach the sky
