"A Descent To Babylon (Babylon Asleep)" lyrics

Celtic Frost Lyrics

"A Descent To Babylon (Babylon Asleep)"

Babylon asleep, an everlasting foe
Striving to hurt, for flesh becomes dirt
Resting within, the sacred fire
I can't withold, the lies untold

Dances and cries, a descent to Babylon
Wine in my hand, a descent to Babylon

All eyes must foul, in stench of fear
Killing to quench, Babylon's tears

We are wisphering for holy wine
Innocence to reign, a world of shrines

This crazy dream, raging over ages
For only one belief
Killing - suffer for a thought
In human blood, stretched out

A descent to a 1000 deaths
As sweet as snow, as cold as dew
A descent to a 1000 deaths
Babylon asleep
