Before the beginning
After the great war between heaven and hell
God created the earth
And gave dominion over it to the crafty ape He called man
To each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness
And great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil
And he cried out with a mighty voice
Saying "fallen, fallen is Babylon the great"
She has become the dwelling place of demons
And a prison for every unclean spirit, and hateful bird
And the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality
And lived sensuously with her will weep and lament over her
When they see the smoke of her burning
Standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment
Saying, "woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city"
For in one hour your judgment has come
