D
 
 
[Verse]
 
D                          G          D
The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
              G/D               A/D
And there was silence over the ocean
D                 G                D
When a voice came thundering from above
                 G/D          A/D
The first day of light was in motion
D                         G            D
Then the voice said, "May fruits be created
               G/D          A/D
And seeds take root as they may"
D             G              D
And no crimes were as yet commited
         G/D                   A/D
Life was breathing it's second day
D                 G            D
In his image this voice made a man
      G/D                A/D
And a woman to love each other
D               G             D
They became the rulers of the world
        G/D                 A/D
And the third day was their mother
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                     G D A
Now who will pray for Babylon?
D              G D  A
Sing a song to Babylon
D                    G D A
On your knees before Babylon
D                          G D A      D
You beat that drum because Babylon is falling
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D       A            G           D
Man and woman learnt how to make fire
                  G            A
And the kingdom's walls were extended
D      A              G                   D
On the fourth day the walls were reaching so far
       G               A
No one knew where they ended
D          A          G        D
Now no one heard that voice anymore
          G                A
And metal-cities came to ascend
D      A         G                  D
On the fifth day spring turned into fall
      G                   A
And a rain fell over the land
D      A         G           D
But no walls can stop such a rain
              G               A
That keeps on falling forever more
D     A   G            D
I was told that by the sixth day
              G            A
The earth was like an open sore
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
D                     G D A
Now who will pray for Babylon?
D              G D  A
Sing a song to Babylon
D                    G D A
On your knees before Babylon
D                      G D A      D
Beat that drum because Babylon is falling

D             A            G          D
The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
              G                A
And there was silence over the oceans
D      A          G                D
When a voice came thundering from above
            G          A
The seventh day was in motion

Beat that drum because Babylon is falling
D
I will wipe from the face of the Earth 

this human race I have created
D
And with them, the animals, 

the birds and the creatures that move along the ground
                  G   D  A         D
For I regret that I have made them
