Pure city
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Pure city
Babylon’s falling  to rise no more
Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more

Oh, Jesus, tell you once before
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
O go in peace an’ sin no more
Babylon’s falling to rise no more

Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more

If you get there before I do
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Tell all my friends I’m coming too
Babylon’s falling to rise no more

Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
