The Earth was spinning, all vacant and waste And there was silence over the ocean Then a voice came, thundering from above The first day of light was in motion Then the voice said, may fruits be created Seeds take root as they may And no crimes were as yet committed Life was breathing its second day In his image this voice made a man And a woman to love each other They became the rulers of the world And the third day was their mother Now who will pray for Babylon? Sing a song to Babylon On your knees, before Babylon Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling Man and woman planned how to make fire And the kingdom's walls were extended On the fourth day the walls were reaching so far No one knew when they ended Now no one heard that voice anymore And metal cities came to a stand On the fifth day spring turned into fall And rain fell over the land But no walls can stop such a rain That keeps on falling forevermore I was told that by the sixth day The Earth was like an ovaison Now who will pray for Babylon? Sing a song to Babylon On your knees, before Babylon Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling The Earth was spinning All vacant and waste And there was silence over the ocean When a voice came thundering from above The seventh day was in motion Now who will pray for Babylon? Sing a song to Babylon On your knees, before Babylon Beat that drum, because Babylon is falling Falling I will wipe from the face of the Earth The human race I have created And with them, the animals, the birds And the creatures that move along the ground For I regret it I have made them For I regret it
