Lady Babylon
Unholy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet kiss of Hemp
L want to be eternally dazed
Forever and ever and ever
Sweet Lady Babylon
In lips She is Sweet
Of Spirit of Venus...
I feel my dream is so deep
Shout to the wind and let

Lady Babylon touch yourself
Who can be right and who can be wrong
How the time hunts your life
Great secret is going to

Ruin your consciousness
I am so deep but so high...

Forever and ever and ever
This state of perpetual intoxication is what I desire for eternity

Sweet Lady Babylon
I am addressing the personification of my addiction as a female entity

In lips She is Sweet
The experience of my addiction is pleasurable at first

Of Spirit of Venus...
This addiction is associated with the goddess of love and pleasure
