Once there was a time, when all people on earth
Knew an age of gold and conquering
There were many nations and kings
But none of them could compare to Babylon
All feared and venerated it's king Nabucodonosor
All were seduced by it's greatness
Luxury, power and splendor
All drank it's wine, and inebriated themselves
In the luxury of sin and pleasure
It's golden palaces shone under the sun
The sun of Sucoth-Benoth
Oh dear, beloved Babylon
Surrounded by glory and braves
Adorned with gold, purple and crimson
And precious stones, standing like a queen
Allow us to enjoy your pleasures...
