    Lyrics:
    This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
    There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
    A city of evil.
    There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
    Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
    Her place will come all at once as mourners watch her burn.
    Destroyed in an hour.
    Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
    Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The day has come for all us sinners.
    If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
    Flee the burning, greedy city.
    Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.
    I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
    You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
    Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
    You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

      Metal belongs to all. And having a emotional connection to the song always mak s it better. I couldn't listen to tool lateralus for like two years after my brother died . Both of us being musicians and loving that song made it hard to handle for awhile. But now I I have such a deep connection to that song for so many reasons. I spent the last year getting this song down pat on the drums . In doing so I listened to hundreds of times. And have many happy memories of my brother and I feeling out over how good they all are.

    I think I can provide an explanation for why each and every person who got "possessed" ended up in that position:
    1) The first girl most likely was underage young and had nothing but the intention of getting famous, hence the contract and her enthusiasm when she received it. In a way, she (metaphorically) succumbed to fame
    2) The young boy was being exposed to strippers and erotic dancers at too young of an age, which, at this point in his life, he's hitting puberty. By being exposed like that, it gives him the wrong mindset of how to treat a woman and therefore, makes him unable to properly respect women
    3) The drunk male obviously succumbed to alcoholism and believes he's entitled to whatever he wants and believes he is invincible. His possession is through a shot of alcohol and symbolizes that intoxication has taken over his existence and all he'll ever know
    4) The stripper gets possessed simply for letting herself be easily controlled by the people around her and therefore further influenced towards a downward spiral she calls her life
    5) And finally the Harlot herself, possessed for simply doing the deeds of wicked people.
    If anyone thinks I messed up, feel free to correct me. I'm always up for what other people think.

    This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence
    There's more than meets the eye 'round here, look to the waters of the deep
    A city of evil
    There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head
    Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked
    The beast and the harlot (oh)
    She's a dwelling place for demons
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
    And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great
    The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh, and pearls
    Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn
    Destroyed in an hour
    Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too
    Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
    The beast and the harlot (oh)
    She's a dwelling place for demons
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
    And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings

As musicians we are always about expanding our horizons. When you stay in one lane too long you stagnate. And obviously I appreciate both, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

    There are many things you can say about avenged sevenfold, but them not being able to play their instruments is definitely not one of them. Especially the guitarists, they are incredibly talented. You may not like the music they choose to play, but they are undeniably talented musicians.

    • @anthonyhusiak
      @anthonyhusiak 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      at the time this song was written, Syn was a DECENT guitarist, but honestly nothing that special. he fit the band's style perfectly and his solos really complimented the overall songwriting, especially in track like "the wicked end" and in this song. but nowadays, he has definitely evolved into a more well rounded musician who is respected outside of his genre. regardless, he still isn't a guitarist that I would call "elite"; look to musicians like paul gilbert, guthrie govan, and many others for some serious talent. A7X will always have a special place in my heart from when i was 14 and my musical tastes were expanding. I'm well past them now, but I credit them for opening my musical mind.

    This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
    There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
    A city of evil.
    There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
    Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
    Her place will come all at once as mourners watch her burn.
    Destroyed in an hour.
    Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
    Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The day has come for all us sinners.
    If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
    Flee the burning, greedy city.
    Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.
    I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
    You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
    Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
    You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.

    I always loved this sing because of Rev's drumming. this guy just pumped so much energy in this track along with Zacky and Synyster shredding. Nobody will ever replace him but his skills will live forever.

    The first album I ever purchased as a young teen. Such a masterpiece. Appreciate it more and more as the years go by. With the Rev (and especially in COE) they were something so special, all their individual instruments blended together so well to make this indescribably amazing sound. Was always so in awe of how the Rev could make the drums sing.

    • @frankwestphal8532

      I'm soooo with you, but the crazy thing is my teens were the early 90s... Nirvana, AIC, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins... etc. But when I first heard Bat Country at age 26, or something like that, I was like "what the hell is this!?" This is was fricking awesome!
      Then I dove in to A7X more in my mid 30s and learned their story. I have no words... I could go into a long story of parallels in my own personal experience, and lost friends. But I'm just thankful for their kickass music, and I hope the Reverend is RIP knowing he/they inspired millions with absolutely kick ass music.

    [Verse 1]
    This shining city built of gold
    A far cry from innocence
    There's more than meets the eye 'round here
    Look to the waters of the deep
    A city of evil
    There sat a seven-headed beast
    Ten horns raised from his head
    Symbolic woman sits on his throne
    But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
    The beast and the harlot
    [Chorus]
    She's a dwelling place for demons
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
    And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
    Fallen now is Babylon the great
    [Verse 2]
    The city dressed in jewels and gold
    Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
    Her plagues will come all at once
    As her mourners watch her burn
    Destroyed in an hour
    Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too
    Will weep and mourn this loss
    With her sins piled to the sky
    The beast and the harlot
    [Chorus]
    She's a dwelling place for demons
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
    And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
    Fallen now is Babylon the great
    [Bridge]
    The day has come for all us sinners
    If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground
    Flee the burning, greedy city
    Looking back on her to see there's nothing around
    I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to Hell
    You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
    Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
    You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever
    [Chorus]
    She's a dwelling place for demons
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
    And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
    Fallen now is Babylon the great
