Beast and the Harlot (Live)

[Speaking: M. Shadows]

Let's play some Beast and the Harlot for 'em huh?

Long Beach! I wanna see you move now!

Yeah, yeah-yeah! Haha! Woah!

[Verse 1]

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

(Woah!)

[Chorus: M. Shadows, Synyster Gates & Zacky Vengeance]

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

[Speaking: M. Shadows]

Yo Gates, what ya got for me man?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

The city dressed in jewels and gold

Fine linen, myrrh and pearls

Her plagues will come all at once

As her 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

(Woah!)

[Chorus: M. Shadows, Synyster Gates & Zacky Vengeance]

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

(Woo!)

[Bridge]

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

Looking back on her to see there's nothing around

I don't believe in fairy tales 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

[Chorus: M. Shadows, Synyster Gates & Zacky Vengeance]

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

[Chorus: M. Shadows, Synyster Gates & Zacky Vengeance]

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

(Yeah! Yeah, Yeah!)
