Avenged Sevenfold - Beast And The Harlot Lyrics

Complimentary "Beast And The Harlot" Ringtone

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence 
There's 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 
A 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 

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls 
Her plagues will come all at once as 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 your 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 fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell 
You made the wrong decision and it's easy to see 
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us 
Your 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
