Powerful city, you are standing tall and proud
Owning the merchants of the world
Kingdom of beauty, your glory shines so bright

With riches and power you rule the earth

Cry out Babylon, your time is going to come
Look out, Babylon, your walls are falling down
Cry out Babylon, your sins are piling high
Fallen Babylon, your truth is just a lie

The blood of the prophets, and the saints that you despise
Thrown into violence by your hands
The smoke of your burning, you will see it everywhere
You'll drink from the cup of wrath to come

Cry out, you've got to cry out, Babylon
Cry out, you've got to cry out, I said cry out Babylon

Cry out Babylon, your time will soon arrive
Look out, Babylon, the nations drink your wine
Cry out Babylon, your wealth is laid to waste
Fallen Babylon, destruction's at your gate

Cry out, you've got to cry out, Babylon
Cry out, you've got to cry out, I said cry out Babylon
You're falling, you've got to cry out, Babylon
Cry out Babylon
