Breathe Babylon lyrics

[Chorus: P.O.D & Dirt]

Babylon, breathe Babylon [x8]

[Verse 1: Dirt]

I see you people Babylon and on and on

Graven images, golden idols and false icons

I'm seeking wisdom like Solomon

But my antennae keeps on picking up evil transmissions

At headquarters I receive my mission

Blow up the ruler of the air like nuclear fission

So I analyze my weapons, laser guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom

I think I see enemy warriors

Fragile heathens tryin' to run stuff like mayors

So with brotha's that snuff punks

I set up time bombs to destroy the strong holds of Babylon

[Chorus: P.O.D & Dirt]

Babylon, breathe Babylon [x8]

[Verse 2: P.O.D.]

We be tribes under grace, a righteous minority

Decadent culture make you forget your spiritual priority

Back down by the movement, soldiers who will serve ya

Open to be used by God, destroy you like Medo-Persia

Jewel of all kingdoms, live evil, purified Hurrah take you down

Don't look back, overthrown you like Sodom and Gomorrah arm of the law

Guilty of all crimes I be like the great Prophet Isiah

Predict your fall over 150 times, got rhymes you could never use

For the purpose you be using, I'll dance over your fields

Present day Iraq still lies in ruins lies

Schemes, back-stab persuasions bumrushed

Get crushed by us, this rescue invasion

[Chorus: P.O.D & Dirt]

Babylon, breathe Babylon [x8]

[Bridge]

Look to the sky, heed the warning

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

Look to the sky, heed the warning

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

Look to the sky, heed the warning

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

Look to the sky, heed the warning

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

Look to the sky, heed the warning

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

Look to the sky, heed the warning

The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming

I feel the breath of the Death Beast

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming

I feel the breath of the Death Beast

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming

I feel the breath of the Death Beast

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming

I feel the breath of the Death Beast

[Verse 3: P.O.D. & Dirt]

Misled bureaucracy, full of hypocrisy

I gotta steel pulse, looking for a true democracy

Destruction, now your walls have fallen

Just sitting here waiting for the train to Zion

Sit down in the dust, Babylon without a throne to call your own is 47:1

The city has fallen, she has fallen golden images of it's god

Lie shattered on the ground

[Chorus: P.O.D & Dirt]

Babylon, breathe Babylon

Babylon, breathe Babylon

Babylon, breathe Babylon

Babylon, breathe Babylon
