Do you remember the ashes of Babylon?
Or the now pitted statues standing in the sand
What once was the ruling nation in all the land
Is now an empty echo of its former glory
Alas, Babylon, its time has passed
The ruins still stand in the quiet dust
Amidst shards of ceramic and rust
Reduced to a memoir in song and story
Left abandoned in the desert
Only the silent ghosts dwell within
The city that once was and now has been
Left exposed to the sandstorm's fury
Ravaged by the sands of time
Desolate sleeps the prideful city
There it sits, forgotten by society
Offered to nature and time to bury
Do you remember the ashes of Bablyon?
Under the sun's burning, blazing eyes
Never again to power shall it rise
Recorded only in a book of history
Alas, Babylon
All of the four beasts fell
And the great statue as well
Where now is your glory?
