Song lyrics
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

Ooooooh-kay.
So I was way off with the words.
I thought the chorus went as such:

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a bitch for every ugly spirit
Every filthy bird that makes us drink
The boys in wonderful like jaded with the kings
Oh, but now is better on the brink.


I'm good at this. Lmao xD

I personally don't that Avenged Sevenfold the band is an Anti-Christ band, everyone says that in the song The Beast and the Harlot, they say things that would be Anti-Christ, for example although they said [lyrics=]fallen now is babylon the great[/lyrics] Babylon meaning "holy city" or for these purposes the city of gold, I think what they are actually saying is that the beast aka the devil and in a sense his "minion" which would be the harlot would cause people that normally would goto the city of gold would send them to hell, so the babylon would have fallen because no one went there, so they are saying basically watch out for people that cause you to sin, but this is just my opinion

i'm not really one to listen to A7X, but this song is my favourite on Guitar Hero II! The chorus gets stuck in my head all the time, but I don't really mind =] and so what if they're anti-christ, people have the right to not believe in God..

I don't find anything anti-christian in this song. I've read the book of revelations in its entirety and this song just recaps it

A7X us most likely the best new[er] age metal band that is well known. Of course I have to stand up for Ozzy, Def Lepard and other older bands who basicly created metal. But A7X is definately high up there on the list.

Though it makes me mad that little girls are all "OMG I LUV A7X" just because they saw Bat Country and The Beast and the Harlot music videos, I still have to love Avenged Sevenfold.[just not their fake fans]

Pay attention to the lyrics...it's why this site is here.
Oh, and stop listeing to Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan. =]

This song is by far the best- to me at least. > I love it, as do most people. I can't wait for the new album, sooo excited. This band owns everything and everyone. Agree with me or die.

Only kidding.
