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 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 their sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/avenged_sevenfold/beast_and_the_harlot.html ]
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,
Looking back on her to see there's nothin' 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,
Your 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.
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 song means that the world is filled with lies and beasts and harlots, and that if you don't serve god you will be struck to the ground. The "beast and the harlot" are references from the book of revelations in the bible chapters 17 and up.
Apparently i cant be christian and listen to a7x. Just watch me (;

The song is about revelations. The last chapter in the bible. Seriously read chapters 17-end all the lyrics are in there.

I think this means that the world is full of sin and demons posses people alot!!! That's not good

I think that it means heaven is full of people who may not actually deserve to be there so it eventually crashes, and all the people flee to hell... Idk thts wat i interpret from it and it has a different meaning for everyone... Love the song tho :)

@hunts, the song basicly is saying dwelling place for demons because demons can possess people

I love it! Has alot of mythology in it! A7x has really outdone themselves on this song.
@hunts786
sorry mate its not drowning like you say it should be, the lyrics up there are correct. Dwelling is the right word.. The whole song wouldnt make any sense if you put drowning in its place.. Lol dafty :)
