Lyrics:

A voice thundered from the sky,
While I was admiring my Babylon,
He said: “You flourished tall as a tree,
But it came the day I shall uproot you from your throne”.

I was thrown away with the beasts,
As He made me bull with no horns.
Stripped from my crown,
Ground and grass was all my feast.

And I don’t mind if you burn me with your love,
Ashes I was and to ashes I will return.
What’s the meaning of shining brighter than the Sun?,
If my own light can’t give warmth to my shivering bones?

For every one of my seven years of fever,
A golden ring to bound me with invisible chains.
Four around my arms, one around my neck,
And two above my ankles, to keep my feet on Earth.

After all those years the fever ceased,
And so my life finally met its end.
But someone came to me, as soon as I had passed.
He said: “Arise, you felled tree!, for your leaves shall thrive again”.

How beautiful he was, that I thought he was truly you,
He tempted me with a new throne,
and a kingdom much bigger than Babylon.
In exchange I gave him all my love, but in his mouth there was no truth.

And I don’t mind if you burn me with your love,
Ashes I was and to ashes I will return.
What’s the meaning of shining brighter than the Sun?,
If my own light can’t give warmth to my shivering bones?

Thirty-three years lived my true love, before in Golgotha we met,
It was after they shed the lamb’s blood, that the dark beauty finally slept.
One last thing he said to me: “Have my army, take my crown,
For when I awake, we shall overthrow the Sun”.

Golden tears I shed for you, on my flesh I carved your same wounds.
How shall I overthrow the Sun, when it is you the one I truly love?
I am now the brightest Morning Star, but never brighter than the Sun above.
I crave not for the Almighty’s throne, but for the love of the one Who is like Him.

And I don’t mind if you burn me with your love,
Ashes I was and to ashes I will return.
What’s the meaning of shining brighter than the Sun?,
If my own light can’t give warmth to my shivering bones?

“Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great!”.
