The Kiss Of Babylon (the Sins) - Orphaned Land
Twisted ways blackened nights Sin upon Sin, gone is the light Doom shall befall them all A Downward spiral they shall fall The Three, all this they see As they try to pass god's decree Worshiping the gods that demand lives and sacrifice None but the blood of infants will suffice Fallen sparrows fall as one into a grave They are the souls of living men that could not be saved. "Walking the land we see The sins of flesh and spirit flow Bodies entwined a serpent's leathel kiss of venom is bestowed Our lord watches them fall He stands above you all" "Son slaying father A Cain's mark upon us all Babylon's rising, cast from heaven We see the angels fall When will the heavens be alight The seasons will re-unite" "Ahavat hadasa al levavi nikshera Ve'ani betoch gola paamay tzolelim; Lu yesh reshut li a'ale ethabera Toch she'arey zion asher hem nehelalim;" Translation: "My heart is bound with love to the Holy Land, But my feet are sinking in the depths of exile When will he give me leave to go up and make my home Within the extolled gates of Jerusalem?"
