Walking under the lions gate,
Bitter tears for a city’s fate,
Raise your voice in an ancient song,
Say goodbye to Babylon
Hanging gardens with falling leaves,
Temples robbed by the Persian thieves,
Once this empire was standing strong,
Say goodbye to Babylon
Never say never
Never forever
Always and ever
Always forever
Kingdoms dancing in Nebo’s dream,
Ask the prophets what kingdoms mean,
Count the battles our lord has won,
Say goodbye to Babylon
Sacred sighs written on the wall
From above holy angels fall,
Paradise where we all come from,
Say goodbye to Babylon
Xerxes tore every wall apart,
Left our home with a broken heart,
Blood in Euphrat but life goes on,
Say goodbye to Babylon
Life was good in the site of life,
All that’s left is eternal strife,
Baby’s riding a neutron bomb,
Say goodbye to Babylon
