Atlantis-Babylon
Sanguis et Cinis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
incomparable
The golden state of discord
Where no-one has got culture
but everyone's got a gun
And only the stupidest ones got asked
And only the ugliest ones increase unstoppable
The praised country of the blind
Babylon will fall
It will come over you
Babylon will burn
Once again
More
The western vision and delusion
This is the strange Babel of the slanderer
Virus and fourth plague
The orphan-tribe took over
And in the golden age of prostitution
Love is just
500 more
Babylon will fall
It will come over you
Babylon will burn
Once again
More
A dead baby with a pistol
And a preacher of the burning cross
Burn burn Babylo nburn
This is Atlantis Babylon incomparable - irresistible
Babylon will fall
It will come over you
Babylon will burn
Once again
More
The lyrics of Sanguis et Cinis's song "Atlantis-Babylon" paint a vivid picture of a society in decline characterized by violence, ignorance, and moral decay. The phrase "Atlantis-Babylon" suggests a civilization that has reached the height of power and hubris only to crumble due to its own excesses. The opening lines describe this place as "incomparable" and "the golden state of discord," emphasizing the idea that even though it is a place of great power and wealth, it is also a place of great chaos and destruction. The line "Where no-one has got culture but everyone's got a gun" underscores the idea that this is a place where violence and aggression have replaced culture and refinement as the defining values of the society.
The chorus speaks of the inevitable downfall of Babylon, repeating the warning "it will come over you" and noting that "Babylon will burn once again, more." This suggests that this society has faced previous destruction and will continue to do so in a never-ending cycle of self-destruction. The verses that follow paint a picture of this society's moral decay, describing it as a place where love is reduced to a transaction of "500 more" and where the ugliest and most stupid are allowed to thrive unchecked. The final lines of the song, which describe a "dead baby with a pistol" and "a preacher of the burning cross," suggest the ultimate horror and senselessness of this society, which is doomed to self-destruction.
Overall, "Atlantis-Babylon" is a powerful and evocative song that uses vivid imagery and haunting lyrics to paint a picture of a society in decline. It serves as a warning against the dangers of unchecked greed, violence, and moral decay.
