I had a dream last night
I was a bird in flight
A burning city on my left
And a golden one on my right

There was a woman there
Tearing out her hair
In dust and ash she laid
The sins have been repaid

Oh Babylon, the whole earth has drank the madness in your wine
Oh Babylon, but the day has come when you will pay for every crime

And now it's time to take the wall
Cause Babylon must fall
And raise it to the ground
Cause Judgment has come down

Chorus
But Jerusalem will stand,
A flood of justice flows across the land
And the earth take up the song
When we bring down Babylon
When we bring down Babylon
When we bring down Babylon

Then in the golden town
I saw a throne and crown
To it world gathered 'round
The righteous bowing down

And the streets, they rang
With the song they sang
Bring forth the Lamb who died
And now bring forth His bride

Oh Jerusalem, your towers rising high in victory
Oh Jerusalem, from your gates, let peace and justice flow like rivers to the sea

But now it's time to take the wall
Cause Babylon must fall
And raise it to the ground
Cause Judgment has come down

Chorus

And now it's time to take the wall
Cause Babylon must fall
And raise it to the ground
Cause Judgment has come down

Chorus

Behind the Song:
'Boy did we have a good time making this one. Check it out, it's a seven and a half-minute majesty! The lyrics are loosely from passages in Revelation (just read it and find out). There is the city of God and the city of man. It is a future reality that Jerusalem will triumph over Babylon, but the conflict is present with us today in our societies, relationships and ourselves.' - Matt Morginsky (The O.C. Supertones)
