Beautiful Babylon

Beautiful Babylon

Sitting upon the many waters

Seducing all the Kings

And loaning out her daughters

Witnessing all her actions

Has caused many a faith to falter

But I know who you are

I see

There is a mystery written upon her forehead

Which means, when translated, Dark Abyss

She says

I need you to need me

Drink your spirit down to feed me

Activate the electric fence when I feel you’re trying to leave me

Transfix you discreetly with words spoken sweetly

And toss in a few tears to have you falling at my feet G

Ella, Ella, true intent covered like umbrellas

Hangs with the guys under the guise of

I’m just cool with the fellas

Women just don’t understand me

They hate me ‘cause I’m pretty

If they stepped their game up, surely their men wouldn’t try to get me

Men, or rather boys

Fascinated by her ploys

Any child can be pacified if you give them a new toy

But they fail to comprehend that doll is broken

Love cannot be found there, she can only offer tokens

A half armed Artemis with a heart made of stone

And yet this is who you choose to make your goddess

She requires sacrifice to be artfully appeased

Your affections, your time, your energy

Your protection, your mind, your synergy

And all she will offer in return is a go, be well fed

She would rather see her smiling

Even if it means you’re dead

She has fallen, she has fallen, the great Harlot

No longer will she feast on the love of the holy ones

If I close my eyes I could surely envision it

Because I know who you are

I see
