This song has so many layers to it. One, obviously, is the story of Genesis, and the inference of monotheistic, Abrahamic religion over-taking older Pagan religions of the area, i.e. Babylonian civilization. Two is perhaps more esoteric, in that Alestair Crowley referred to a Deity, a Goddess, as Babalon, and equated Her with the Earth Mother, and the source of all life, an idea that predates that of a male God creating "the heavens and the earth." The song talks about walls and metal cities, and at the end, the destruction of all life. The destruction of the planet. Our mother. Babalon. So now, who will pray for Babylon?
I will pray, sing a song, and play a drum for Babylon . . . all with a smile on my face AND WITH MY USUAL ZEST . . . Hell , I will even dance for Babylon . . . gladly!!! ❤😊
