Lay down your arms and surrender to mine   Let me release you from your tangled skein   Burn down your temples and your holy shrines   Sift through the ashes for the truth that shines   No more weeping or wringing of hands   Come with me to the promised land   Close your eyes and we'll go down slow   We're gonna drown in the afterglow      In the aftermath of Babylon   All the pimps and whores have gone   All the guilt has been laid to rest   Just remember mother never knew best   Tear down the walls raze them to the ground   Your ivory tower we'll burn it down   And in the evening when the sun gets low   We're gonna drown in the afterglow
