Babylon
Dragony Lyrics

We come riding on the storm
We arrive with great force, as if on an unstoppable natural phenomenon

And we found that we are one
We discovered our unity and common purpose

On the waves of yesterday
Riding on the memories of the past

We burn with the light of dying suns
We are intense and passionate, like the last rays of a fading star

We are the ones to change our lives
We have the agency and determination to reshape our own destiny

And we will defy your lies
We will resist deceit and falsehoods with courage and conviction

In the everlasting dawn that now arrives
In the moment of awakening, as a new era dawns

Hear the world turn to false saviours
The world is entranced by deceptive figures who claim to offer salvation

And forsake the truth beyond
And ignore the genuine solutions and insights that exist

Babylon, your towers burn
The structures of power and control are crumbling

And still you raise them higher
Despite this, efforts to cling to the old order persist

Babylon, you've got to learn
It is vital to comprehend the errors and flaws of the previous system

The price you pay for vain desire
The consequences of selfish and misguided pursuits are severe

Out from dark ages past
Emerging from a history of oppression and ignorance

You thought your secrets bound to last
Believing that the suppression of truth and knowledge could endure forever

Through the turning centuries
As time marches on and circumstances change

And beyond the die that's cast
And even beyond the point of no return

But we will never fall
We will not succumb or surrender

We'll be the ones to heed the call
We will answer the summons for transformation and progress

Of a new tomorrow that's written on the wall
Of a brighter future that is both certain and visible

Hear the cries of fallen saviours
The laments of those who claimed to save us but fell short

Ere the light will guide you home
Before we find our way to the ultimate destination

Burning in the fires of tomorrows never known
Encountering great uncertainty and risk in the quest for a better tomorrow

Running and so frightened
Often feeling overwhelmed and scared

Of the seeds that we have sown
Of the outcomes of our choices and actions

Hiding in the shadows falling in the dying light
Retreating from the difficulties and complexities of life

Wishing for, and dreading yet
Simultaneously hoping for and fearing the future

The oncoming night
The unknown and potentially ominous future

But still they rise forever
The old structures persist, even as they decline

The price you pay for vain desire.
Reiterating the importance of abandoning misguided pursuits
