lyrics

You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows your throne will fall
You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows Babylon will fall
You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows your throne will fall
You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows Babylon will fall

Night has not yet fallen
It’s just that smoke has filled the sky
At last your castle is burning
And the people wanna hang you high
You think your reach is infinite
That your dominion has no end
But tyranny has a half-life
The sword cannot extend

You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows your throne will fall
You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows Babylon will fall

All your fawning underlings
Your obeisant serfs
Have left you deaf to the reality
Of what your crown is worth
One day there will come a reckoning
Wickedness cannot quell
The trials and tribulations
Will be free for all to tell

You’re just another one of their pawns
Like centipedes, snakes, and the scorpions
We’ve seen the way that your venom works
We’ll raise a light where the darkness lurks

You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows your throne will fall
You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows Babylon will fall
You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows your throne will fall
You build it up, we break it down
Jah knows Babylon will fall

Babylon's gonna fall now, Babylon's gonna fall
Babylon's gonna fall now, Babylon's gonna fall
