Beast And The Harlot Lyrics - City Of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold

This shining city built of gold 

A far cry from innocence 

There's more than meets the eye around 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 her and leaves her naked 

The beast and the harlot 

She's a dwelling place for demons 

She's a cage for every unclean spirit 

Every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings 

Fallen now is Babylon the Great

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The city dressed in jewels and gold 

Fine linen, myrrh and pearls 

Her plagues will come all at once 

As her mourners watch her burn 

Destroyed in an hour 

Merchants and captains of the world 

Sailors navigators too 

Will weep and mourn this loss 

With her sins piled to the sky 

The beast and the harlot 

She's a dwelling place for demons 

She's a cage for every unclean spirit 

Every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings 

Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The day has come for all us sinners 

If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground 

Flee the burning, greedy city 

Looking back on her to see there's nothing around 

I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to hell 

We've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see 

Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us 

You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever 

She's a dwelling place for demons 

She's a cage for every unclean spirit 

Every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings 

Fallen now is Babylon the Great 

She's a dwelling place for demons 

She's a cage for every unclean spirit 

Every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings 

Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
