"Babylon" is a song included on the fifth album Dark Ages, released in 2005. This song has thunderous basslines with acoustic guitar and sitar mixed in. In addition, guitarist Marc Rizzo uniquely performs vocals with Max Cavalera.
Some fans believe that the intro track, "The Dark Ages", could've been segued as the ambient first part of this track instead of on separate tracks. If "Babylon" is the opening track of the album, containing the 47-second intro, it would've last 4:41 instead of 3:53.
Lyrics[]
Lightning and thunder
Fear and wonder
Murder and murder
Chaos, disorder
Hate and pain
Will rise again
Nothing remains
Bring it on again...
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...
Inna babylon
Hell on earth
Like a curse
War is hell
Time will tell
Apocalypse meets
The final disease
Death now creeps
The enemy within...
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...
Inna babylon
United nations
Divided tensions
Body count rises
While leaders lie
Desolation
Separation
Sufferation
Confrontation
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...
Inna babylon
Desolation...
Annihilation...
Decapitation...
Seperation...
Murder nation...
Sufferation...
Confrontation...
Retaliation...
Mutilation...
Devastation...
Confrontation...
Too much tension...
On and on and on and on...
On and on and on and on...
Inna Babylon
