babylon
D. Kay & Kasra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

An untamed mass enter through the gate
I cannot, I can't breathe!


Yeah, Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon

I see you people babble on and on and on
Graven images, golden idols and false icons
I'm seeking wisdom like Solomon
But my antenna keeps on pickin' up evil transmissions
At headquarters I receive my mission blow up the ruler of the air
Like nuclear fission
So I analyze my weapons
Laser-guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom
I think I see enemy warriors
Huh, fragile heathens tryin' to run stuff like mayors
So with brotha's that snuff punks
I set up time bombs to destroy the strongholds of babylon

Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon

We be tribes under grace, a righteous minority
Decadent culture make you forget your spiritual priority
Back down by the movement, soldiers who will serve ya
Open to be used by god, destroy you like Medo-Persia
Jewel of all kingdoms, like evil, purified horror
Take you down, don't look back, overthrow you like sodoom and Gomorrah
Strong arm of the law, guilty of all crime
I be like the great prophet Isalah, predict your fall a hundred and fifty times
Got rhymes that you could never use for the purpose you be using
I'll dance over your fields, present-day Iraq still lies in ruins
Filled with lies, schemes, backstabbed persuasions
Bum-rushed, get crushed by us, this rescue invasion

Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon

Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming
Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the death beast

Mised their bureaucracy, full of hypocrisy
I got a steel pulse, looking for a true democracy destruction
Now your walls have fallen
Just sitting here waiting for the train to zion
Sit down in the dust, Babylon
Without a throne to call your own
It's 47:1, city has fallen, god
She has fallen golden images of its gods lie shattered on the ground

Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon




Babylon, breathe Babylon
Babylon, breathe Babylon, Babylon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D. Kay & Kasra's song Babylon are rich in imagery about the fall of Babylon. The first few lines seem to describe a sense of suffocation and overwhelm as an untamed mass enters through the gate making it hard to breathe. The repetitive refrain of "Babylon, breathe Babylon" suggests that the city of Babylon itself is struggling to breathe under the weight of its own corruption and sin. The song then moves onto a description of the singers' quest for wisdom like that of King Solomon, but instead of finding it, they encounter evil and corruption through Babylon's false idols and graven images.


The singer notes that they receive their mission to "blow up the ruler of the air, like nuclear fission" and uses the metaphor of laser-guided rifles to describe the spiritual wisdom they wield against the fragile heathens. The song then describes how they set up time bombs to destroy the strongholds of Babylon and overthrow its culture of lies, schemes, and backstabbed persuasions. In the final section of the song, the singer notes that Babylon's walls have fallen, and the city has been destroyed, with its golden idols shattered on the ground. The repetitive chants of "the plagues are coming" suggest that the city has brought about its own downfall by being full of hypocrisy and bureaucracy.
