The Walls of Babylon have Fallen

They say that America is the wealthiest
With a military greater than all others
And fetid offerings of culture's table
Pleasures and leisure at your fingertips
Treasures beyond count our mother
Our reason of being, our madness enabled
Alive in the world of a vintage most dour
With the finest vintage wasted, all can see
We can't realize we're living in Babylon
Blinded by the dollar, being given power
From our fecund loins ignorance is spawned
Can't tell time, so don't know the hour
A time is come, a new world has dawned
Yes prepare to leave Babylon's spires
You'll now live as carnality's pawns
Not where your free will could have led
But you can't any longer
For the walls have fallen
All hopes have reached the end
You were given a choice, instead
But there's nothing left saving
And everyone you love is dead
