Asaf Avidan - Sweet Babylon lyrics

Take my body, pull it down Be the words upon my tongue Oh sweetest queen of harlots Let me taste your praise Let me drown in you, let me feast Let me ride your seven headed beast Let me strip before you, and step back in your gaze And I know there’s a night At the edge of this light I’m coming home Sweet Babylon I’m coming home Abomination of hearts and sea Rain your terror down on me Untamethe blueness in these eyes, I’ll be the shadow by your side Oh goddess of unholy things Bring me all your beauty brings Show this wretched, weak apostate where his gods reside And I know there’s a night At the edge of this light I’m coming home Sweet Babylon I’m coming home I bet your hills remember, your towers ring All the tunes I used to sing Let me try them on my lips again You know I never miss a note Oh dirty mother of who*e and thief I went away but time is brief Let me spend all that is left with you Until I have to float And I know there’s a night At the edge of this light I’m coming home Sweet Babylon I’m coming home And I know there’s a night At the edge of this light I’m coming home Sweet Babylon I’m coming home I’m coming home Sweet Babylon I’m coming home I’m coming home Sweet Babylon I’m coming home
