Babylon Whores

Apples and silver bear the trees of paradise / Visions of heaven to unfold
before our eyes / Where cherry orchards bloom eternal summers night / Upon
a sarcen stone we dreamed / Our sweet old lies
And into the dreams bewitched / Wed hear the haunting song / That beckoned
us to taste / Of the dark of unripe dawn
If pride doth go before the fall / The summer never was / Promises gilded
and hollow / No longer do bind us / All knowing and all wise
Well exit Eden / By the sunrise
As pestilence falls down as rain upon our heads / Still paved with gold
become the roads that we now tread / Covered with sores and drunk with plain
mortality / We have no thing so dear we couldnt / Part with and leave
And if plague and hail they say / May purge a righteous man / Tears wept in
anger / Shall be wiped away / By the Devils hand
If pride doth go before the fall / The summer never was / Promises gilded
and hollow / No longer do bind us / All knowing and all wise
Well exit Eden / By the sunrise
(All sacred secrets and serpents / Grow old and tangled in shadows coiled /
Under bridges over Alpheus stream / Carrying their dust on to the sea)
