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. [x2:] 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.
I've been practicing this drum track for half my life and I still can't fully get it down with out getting tired. The rev wasn't a one take wonder for a reason.
@jinrex015 It's supposed to be the transition to Burn it Down. Actually, The first three songs are sort of "linked" together. Beast and the Harlot, Burn it Down, and Blinded in Chains. :P

I love this song so much but like what is going on with the rhythm guitar during the key change in the last chorus??? it sounds completely off and I have no idea if it is deliberate or not...... listen closely and you'll hear what i'm on about 4:45 - 5:12 you might have to pull out an earphone to hear it under the lead guitar....
Fuck I'm glad someone else noticed, I reckon it might have been left over from the demo, before they had the keychange (they added the intro and outro part in the studio) and they forgot to mute it. It's a weird as hell mistake to leave
lol they did. i think i just lost brain cells from reading that. the only cover they did was walk and they write all their own music who else could write such crazy shit,
@deanxleong do you understand what am I trying to say? define "segue" then you will know what am i talking about, beast and harlot + burn it down is like "I won't see you tonight" my theory (don't take it seriously) is it's like so long they have to cut it into 2 part, it's like a one so long song called "city of evil" cut into to songs called beast and the harlot and burn it down..... still don't get it? ignore it :D
