Avenged Sevenfold - The Beast And The Harlot Lyrics

The beast and the harlot

This shinning city built of gold,
a far cry from innocence
theres more than meets
the eye round here
look to the waters of the deep
a city of evil!
there sat a seven-headed beast
ten horns raised from his head
symbolic woman sits on his throne but hatred strips
and leaves her naked
the beast and the harlot!

shes a dwelling place for demons
shes a cage for every unclean spirit
every filthy bird and make us drink the poisoned wine
to fornicating with our kings
fallen now is babylon the great!

the city dressed in jewels and gold,fine linen,myrrh
with pearls
her plagues have come all at once as her mourners
watch her burn
destroyed in an hour!
merchants and captains
of the world
sailors,navigators too
will keep and mourn this loss with her sins piled
to the sky
the beast and the harlot!

shes a dwelling place for demons
shes a cage for every unclean spirit
every filthy bird and make us drink the poisoned wine
to fornicating with our kings
fallen now is babylon the great!

the days has come for all us sinners
if youre not a servant
youll be be struck to the ground
flee the burning,greedy city
looking back on her to see theres nothing around
i dont believe in fairy tales
and no one wants to go to hell
youve made the wrong decission and its easy to see
now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
youre welcome to the city where your future is set forever!

shes a dwelling place for demons
shes a cage for every unclean spirit
every filthy bird and make us drink the poisoned wine
to fornicating with our kings
fallen now is babylon the great!

shes a dwelling place for demons
shes a cage for every unclean spirit
every filthy bird and make us drink the poisoned wine
to fornicating with our kings
fallen now is babylon the great!
