Babylon Vampyres

Lyrics for Babylon Vampyres

Aaron: A lot of good advice Nobody's keeping for themselves If you're playing by the rules You'll be a trophy on a shelf Give in to the ordinary run of things Like it is meant to be There's nothing left of me Scientist I: Praying for salvation, floating with the tide The very first temptation Drags you to the other side You learn to walk and run You fly until you fall as far as I can see Aaron: The future ahead was not what it used to be Scientist I: Blessed was the darkness - veiling hypocrisy Babylon is burning, shining from afar Babylon is burning Aaron: From sunset to sunrise Scientist I: Babylon is burning And you're glowing like a fiery star And no one can tell if we've been for real Babylon is burning Babylon is burning They say it's coming by the night To engraft into the brain What a scientific tongue won't recall Or even phrase It's crawling up your spine To breed a wicked freak of nature We will be a new society Aaron: A headless congregation, a vortex needing more Scientist I: The road to good intentions is evil to the core Aaron: The devil and the deep blue sea are waiting Side by side for me Aaron: The sweet scent of poison Hazing the dread away This side of the moon I'll confess to... Another day Scientist I: Babylon is burning, shining from afar Aaron: Babylon is burning From sunset to sunrise Scientist I: Babylon is burning And you're glowing like a fiery star And no one can tell if we've been for real Yeah Scientist I: Ever since I can remember I've been shooting up that road with a dream I saw gold at the end of the rainbow I was given an idea of what life should be What life should be Aaron: Ain't there a light above the shadow Ain't there blood in the machine Ain't there flesh they'd been misleading Ain't there a longing soul within? Scientist I: I've seen believers on the wayside And I'm afraid to say, I think just like you That failed to pretend They could cope with what they'd find When they didn't have a clue - just like you Babylon is burning, shining from afar Aaron: Babylon is burning From sunset to sunrise Scientist I: Babylon is burning And you're glowing like a fiery star And no one can tell if we've been for real, oh Babylon is burning, shining from afar Aaron: Babylon is burning From sunset to sunrise Scientist I: Babylon is burning And you're glowing like a fiery star And no one can tell if we've been for real
