about

‘’Babylonia quasi prima Roma,
Ipsa Roma quasi secunda Babylonia est’’,

lyrics

Great kings lifted that great city
Illustrious and radiant Babylon
The crown-jewel of Shinar
Encrusted by the very hands of the gods
But glorious though it was
How bewails the envy of kings!
Th’ pride of the Chaldees
Who once ruled over the nations!

And what much drank they of Her cup
So that all quarters of Her vast dominions
Were overflowing with the contents
…Of the ages

Pharisees! It is Her sacred rites you celebrate
Pharisees! It is Her pagan vestments you don

Babylonia...Gloria!

The beast whereon She sits
Whose horns (kings) are ten
And crowns (isles) number seven
Is like to that place of olde
Sunken in the abyss

And still, they drink profusely of Her cup
O’ deathless procreator
Seductress of empires
Thou hast dressed the death-wound
Come forth at once that all might see
The jewel of Shinar; the pearl of the Seas

Pharisees! It is Her sacred rites you celebrate
Pharisees! It is Her pagan vestments you don

Babylonia ...Gloria!

Drink, drown, drink, drown!

Great kings lifted that great city
Illustrious and radiant Babylon
The crown-jewel of Shinar
Encrusted by the very hands of the gods
But glorious though it was
How bewails the envy of kings!
Th’ Pride of the Chaldees,
Who once ruled over the nations!
