We found a place covered in sand

Nearby modern day Iraq
What used to be a great city
Is gone, never coming back

4000 years ago this city came to be
Alive for fifteen centuries
What was lost is found, remnants of an ancient town
And all it used to be

I’m talkin’ about Babylon
A symbol of wealth, strength and sin
A city that is dead and gone
Now all that’s left is history

Yeah its just history

When uncovered in 1899
People were in awe
Legends spoke of in the bible were true

Babylon exists

Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem
Capturing Jewish people
But their greatest threat they could not forget
Their neighbours of Assyria

I’m talkin’ about Babylon
A symbol of wealth, strength and sin
A city that is dead and gone
Now all that’s left is history

I’m talkin’ about Babylon
A symbol of wealth, strength and sin
A city that is dead and gone
Now all that’s left is history
Yeah its just history

In biblical mythology
The citizens of Babylon
They built a tower made of brick
It reached up into heaven
So that everyone would know their name
But God saw this as being vain
Forcing them to end their reign

He changed their languages, splitting them apart
The city was never the same

I’m talkin’ about Babylon
A symbol of wealth, strength and sin
A city that is dead and gone
Now all that’s left is history

I’m talkin’ about Babylon
A symbol of wealth, strength and sin
A city that is dead and gone
Now all that’s left is history
Yeah its just history
