Struggling with Babylon? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
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
