Ramble Onward to Babylon

RAMBLE ONWARD TO BABYLON
AND SO THEY MARCHED INTO A LAND, WITH A PLAN
A PLAN OF A THOUSAND YEARS
BUILT SOME WALLS, CASTLE HALLS
RULED ON THE DREAMS AND FEAR
THE KING’S HORSES, AND ALL HIS MEN
PULL ON THE REIGNS OF THE BEGOTTEN
THEY RAMBLE ONWARD, RAMBLE ONWARD TO BABYLON
AND AS THE HOMELAND GREW, THEY BROUGHT A NEW
LEVEL OF LUXURY
BUT THE WEATHERS CHANGE, WITH A STRANGE
LEVEL OF CERTAINTY
EVERY EMPIRE THAT’S EVER BEEN
FED ON THE WEAK AND THE CARRION
THEY RAMBLE ONWARD, RAMBLE ONWARD TO BABYLON
HAND OF POWER LOST ITS GRIP
RIGHT BEFORE THEIR EYES
AND THE FOOLED CIVILIZATION
WILL ALWAYS ACT SURPRISED
AND WHEN THE HANGING GARDENS TUMBLED DOWN
NONE BELIEVED THEIR EYES
BUT THEN HISTORY REPEATS AGAIN
AND EVERYONE’S SURPRISED
KINGDOMS COME, AND THEN THEY GO
IT’S ALL IN THE LEGEND BOOKS
FROM ENGLAND TO SPAIN AND GREECE TO ROME
ALL OF ‘EM GOT THE HOOK
EVERY EMPIRE THAT’S EVER BEEN
FED ON THE WEAK AND THE CARRION
SO WE RAMBLE ONWARD, RAMBLE ONWARD TO BABYLON
WE RAMBLE ON TO BABYLON
