And the earth spun desolate and empty
And all was quiet over the seas
Then a voice was heard from above
And there was light on the first day
And the voice said bring forth fruit
And may they have their seed in the earth
And no crimes were yet committed
The second day came to the north
And in his own image the voice made a man
And a woman to love each other
And they became kings on the round of the globe
It was the edge of the third day
So who will pray for Babylon
Sing a hymn for Babylon
Fall on your knees for Babylon
Beat the drum for Babylon
Falls
Man and woman learned fire
And built kingdoms and walls
On the fourth day the walls were so long
That no one knew where they ended
And no one heard any voice anymore
Here cities grew towards the sky
The fifth day when spring became autumn
It rained on the human villages
And no walls can stop a rain
That falls year after year
The sixth day has a voice told me
Be the earth like an open wound
So who shall pray for Babylon
Sing a psalm for Babylon
Fall on your knees for Babylon
Beat the drum for Babylon
Fall
And the earth spun desolate and empty
And all was quiet over sea
Then a voice was heard from above
And there was light on the seventh day
So who will pray for Babylon
Sing a psalm for ¶r Babylon
Fall on your knees for Babylon
Beat the drum for Babylon
Fall
