Avenged Sevenfold
Beast And The Harlot lyrics

Songwriters: Baker, Zachary James; Haner, Brian Elwin; Sanders, Matthew Charles; Sullivan, James Owen

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.

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.

This song is talking about about babylon. but not babylon literally. The "babylon" here is an allusion to hell. I'm sure enough, hell is the dwelling place for demons, and a cage for unclean spirits, since u cannot escape it.

This has something to do in revelations.

But here, the singer wants to rule in hell than to serve in heaven. it showed in the lines:

"now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us"

I'm really freaked by this song. It shows a very evil side of a7x

This song is clearly about Revelations and the beast and the harlot mentioned in the bible...i'll even give you the verse so you can verify it faster...Revelations 17:3-5...

I gotta hand it to a7xddict...he basically summed it up right.

anyways, the song really confused me the first several times i looked over the lyrics and listened to the song...but then I read part of Revelations, and the song just basically tells the story of Revelations Chapters 17-19..
I mean it'd be confusing as all hell if you didn't read that part of the Bible before reading these lyrics...but if you take the time to read those three chapters, it pretty much just tells that exactly, except in song form...which makes it a million times less confusing.
So to anyone having trouble understanding the meaning...crack open a Bible...read Revelations 17-19...and then look over the lyrics again.

this is basically just like Avenged Sevenfold's song Chapter Four (which in my opinion is their best song ever)...anyways that song basically just tells the story of Cain and Abel, which is in Chapter Four of Genesis, hence the title of the song.

anyways, it parallels this song cuz this song does the same exact thing, just with Revelations 17-19 instead of Genesis 4. Same overall concept though. I love how A7X puts biblical references into their music...it's amazing how they do it.

the woman in this song is babylon and the beast is satan. it could either be that or she is the antichrists right hand man. and the beast is as i said before is satan (in other words the antichrist). this will all take place after the dissapearances. after God has taken his children to heaven. babylon will be a satanic place after this thats why they say she's filled with demons.
