Beast And The Harlot Lyrics
Artist(Band):Avenged Sevenfold
Review The Song (214)Print the Lyrics
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.

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.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh with pearls.
Her plagues have 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.

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.

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.
Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.

I don't believe in fairytales 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.

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.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit, eery filthy bird
and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

Review about Beast And The Harlot

Christian | Reviewer: Christian | 11/12/09

OK guys actually the harlot is a city that the bible says will come in the end times. The beast is a man or group of men who will come to hate the city ...they will destroy the city with fire to fulfill there own goals. The funny thing is, is that the woman was riding the beast before they destroyed her. So at one point in time the harlot and beast were together. So what does that tell you? what do you think they are trying to say about america in this song? Go to infowars.com to find out...



haha | Reviewer: Dave | 10/25/09

The beast refferred to in the bible is actually Rome. thats right, the city of Rome, centre of the Roman empire, which was persecuting christians before it converted. Rome is built on seven hills, hence seven heads. Paul was trying to warn other christians to never trust them. Great song, and hot video, that harlot girl is smokin'!



its jst a song but true | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/4/09

i agree wit most peeps says, babylonia was the city of evil, god destroyed it, the 7 headed beast with 10 horns is the devil. Nowadays peeps says dat babylon will fall, in other words, all bad things will end. jst clearing things up. But its jst a song dat talks about dat, so like dont get all worked up. Enjoy this AWSOME song like i am



awsome song :D | Reviewer: Paul Chammas | 9/20/09

this is one of my favourite a7x songs as well as strengh of the world and Bat Country..
actually what i wanted 2 say is that it's true that this song talks abt a story written in the bible...i did a little research abt it and read the part that talks abt babylon, and i was surprised 2 see that the 7 headed beast with the 10 horns on his head is mentionned in the bible...and the harlot is the creature that used to ride this beast and as i understood, this creature used to lure men into sin...

anyways u can all do ur own reaserch for more details ;):P

awsome song :D



;-) | Reviewer: youdie punk | 9/9/09

i thinks thats means,any another world more or most bad!!
babylonia punishing by god
and A7X punish it!!
she's dwelling place for demon
somebody girl trap on the place full with demon



are u that stupid? | Reviewer: cuddles | 9/4/09

if u really think that this song is about devil worship or the controversy in the bible u havent read the lyrics u just looked up. it literaly says babylon in the lyrics and the whole song is about the fall of babylonia. "fallen now is babylon the great".



Babylonia | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/28/09

C´mon!

Haven´t you heard something about Babylonia? That city was punished by God. All the sins possible were made in that City of Evil. And yeah, it was the most wonderful city on the world. The Bible mentions it. It´s fact.



It's just a song, bro, chill. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/25/09

It's a song. Sure, it has a meaning, but everyone has different ways of interpreting it. It doesn't fucking matter what's the meaning of the song. Or if it's demonic, if it's about preaching, if it's about controversy with the Catholic Church. It is what it is. And people shouldn't really give a shit.Believe what you wish.



My OPINION.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/17/09

This song is about the controvocy in the bible. Its not preaching at all. The "greedy city" represents the church and how much of it has been consumed by the very thing it preaches against - greed. The Church of England is as rich as the government itself. The first chorus basically sets the scene.

"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."

Its not as innocent as it seems, look deeper. That is basically what the song is saying.

"I dont believe in fairytales..." also backs up this arguement.

bottom line is, despite the unlying messages (which can obv be interpreted in many different ways, this is just my view), this still an awesome song and no-one can take that away from my favourite ever band. A7X FTW! :P



A7X! | Reviewer: axl88 | 6/22/09

I also don't think Jesus would argue like this with people who dont belive, and i dont think most of you people who are downing the none belivers even practice what you preach most of the time. and this is a stupid blog... why not do what Jesus did and go to people in there faces and tell them about the word of God??? I just think aot of you are faking being a good person just so you look good.
