| 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

The new CD is fantastic, the singing is different, no screaming. he popped blood vessels in his throat, and had some kind of surgery to help him recover, he also took singing lessons from Axyl Roses singing coach! wow, i find that crazy cool hehe, maybe its just my imagination but, i swear i can hear some GNR in them now heh. anyways definately pick this CD up, its fantastic. (remember to listen in the last 10-20seconds of each song, theres tons of solos i didnt even know about until i really started paying attention)

* offtopic : Yeah...I've also noticed that Avenged is sounding a lot more like GNR. You can really tell in songs like Trashed and Scattered and Sieze the Day...
But to be on topic...Great Song All round | 25-06-2005 00:58 lambofgod83 |  447 posts

dude this new record is awsome like big time. I know the song has biblical meaning but what does the mean in general? The main idea comes from the book of Revelations chapter 12 any ideas tell me at anarchistfarmacist@yahoo.com

longshot00,
my guess is they hate all the hypocrisy, and dont mind being damned to hell. i'm happy to know i'm going to heaven. but hey, they make pretty damn good music for a bunch of antichrists. | 02-09-2005 02:41 hobbitgirl |  4,764 posts

the song meaning falls on a much deeper level than just "I dont give a damn, I'm going to hell". Truly, A7X isnt a religious band. They tend to take a very satirical look on the bible and religions and its effect on the world in general. But that doesnt make them "anti-christs". Hell, Im a Catholic and I hate to see the negative effect of religions on the world and I share similiar veiws of some things Ive interpretted from music, does that make me "antichirst", no.
As I said before the song falls on a deeper level(imo). I see the story from the Bible used as an illusion to today's society. The City representing the devaluation of mankind values and humanity as a whole and its general acception amoung the people. The whole album came across as political to me, and this a grand opening for it. | 03-09-2005 06:37 FooFightersRule |  309 posts
| erm, you're probably gunna get bashed for saying A7X is a "emo" band. anyway...
"this shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence... a city of evil"
heres how i interpret it,
City of gold, from Revelations, is heaven. heaven, a far cry from innocence? by definition if you are in heaven you're innocent, you're dept has been totally paid for. city of evil, i think not.
call it antichrist, call it blasphemy or hypocrisy, i dont care. in my opinion this band has a serious grudge with christianity. doesn't mean i wont listen to them though, cuz they ROCK! | 04-09-2005 21:01 hobbitgirl |  4,764 posts

erm...I never said they were "emo"
Did you get that from this:
As I said before the song falls on a deeper level(imo).
"imo" means "in my opinion". | 08-09-2005 19:10 FooFightersRule |  309 posts
| erm, i guess i did.
i'm not familiar with all the IM talk,
and there is no need to use it here.
just type it out you lazy ass.

I don't quite think that this song is inspired by chapter 12, but instead by the harlot that is supposed to be caught up WITH the beast, not AGAINST him... the woman in question with Revelation chap. 12 is the woman that is NOT the dwelling place for demons...
Also, the song completely follows with BABYLON, the city that had fallen and is supposed to rise again, and that is supposed to be a golden city... the capital that will draw kings and captains and navigators, too... it's not to say that A7X doesn't have issues with religion, but they're not straying from the passages... the city of gold is Babylon, they even say it in the lyrics; the harlot is an actual being in the Bible...
Check Revelations 17, especially verses 2, 5, 12, and 16 through 18... especially 2 and 18, which will definitely sound familiar... |
