Walking under the lion's gate   Bitter tears for a city's fate   Raise your voice in an ancient song   Say goodbye to Babylon      Hanging gardens with falling leaves   Temples robbed by the Persian thieves   Once this empire was standing strong   Say goodbye to Babylon      Never say never   Never forever   Always and ever   Always forever      Kingdoms dancing in Nebu's dream   Ask the prophets what kingdoms mean   Count the battles our lord has won   Say goodbye to Babylon      Sacred sighs written on the wall   From above holy angels fall   Paradise where we all come from   Say goodbye to Babylon      Never say never   Never forever   Always and ever   Always forever      Xerxes tore every wall apart   Let our home with a broken heart   Blood in Euphrat but life goes on   Say goodbye to Babylon      Life was good in the site of life   All that's left is eternal strife   Baby's riding a neutron bomb   Say goodbye to Babylon      Never say never   Never forever   Always and ever   Always forever
