Babylon

My mind is ease
To fight what it sees
As ignorance flees
Knowledge is Power
On Mercury’s wings
The hummingbird sings
The message that stings
The final hour now
Lead us out of temptation
Guide us into salvation
Curse my hand
When the dark hides the light its a cloak for the innocent
When the blood disappears its a phony absolution for the sheep with no sight
The time is at hand
To nurture the land
To drink from the sand
Honor the seasons
The stories I’ve heard
Defaming the Word
Defining absurd
I know the reasons now
Save us from medication
Fill us with new sensations
Curse the land
When the dead walk the earth it’s a sign for the innocent
When the base turns to gold it’s a secret that the magic’s hiding place is
found out
My spirit’s at ease
At one with the seas
I hear the decrees
Knowledge is Power
The voices are sweet
Till one day we’ll meet
The end of deceit
The sacred hour now
Lead us out of temptation
Guide us into salvation
Curse my hand
When the dark hides the light its a cloak for the innocent
When the blood disappears its a phony absolution for the sheep with no sight
When the dead walk the earth it’s a sign for the innocent
When the base turns to gold it’s a secret that the magic’s hiding place is
found out
