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
