My Babylon Traversing This burning landscape I miss the pouring rain And all the years I wasted Trying to be me again There stands among the mist A place of many fortunes Oasis of my sins The shelter of my virtues I'm guided by the star That shines upon your towers Concealed within your walls The secrets of our fathers Rise from dust and blood A child of eternal war You're blessed by God The one to witness your fall When the earth beneath the sky Did not even bear a name Were the gods just like men With their desire for fame? The city of thousands On its way to demise Doomed from the start But I beg you to Rise from dust and blood A child of eternal war You're blessed by God The one to witness your fall I've waited too long Oh, my Babylon! Every man dies alone In this Babylon of my own
