Babylon

About Babylon

"Babylon" is a song by Canadian rock band The Tea Party. It was released as a promotional single in Canada. The music video was shot in Toronto and was unique at the time for being one continuous shot with a single camera. "Babylon" "was the last track to make it on to Transmission" and features "some of the most distorted sounds" The Tea Party ever made, with Jeff Burrows playing a sped up version of drums sampled from "Psychopomp" and "most guitar sounds are in fact keyboards in disguise".  more »

Now that the thrill of the massacre is over
Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins
I've waited so long

I roll back the stone just to see
What I'm missing
Glimpses of grandeur now faced with defeat
I've waited so long

Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading
Where will you turn when you can't find
Your soul
I've waited so long

Salvation's at hand
It's a matter of taste dear
Lost in ideals that you found in the trash
I've waited so long
