Babylon Is Fallen

Em Em Hail the day so long expected, hail the year of full release Em Zion’s walls are now erected, and their watch heads publish peace G Em D Through our child’s white dominion, hear the trumpet loudly roar Em Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen C Em Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more Em C Em Em All her merchants stand with wonder, what is this that comes to pass? Em Murmuring like the distant thunder, and crying ‘oh alas alas’ G Em D Swell the sound you kings and nobles, priests and people rich and poor Em Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen C Em Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more Em C Em Em Blow the trumpet on Mount Zion, for the kings are all brought down Em Who once ruled with rods of iron, and wore our fortunes on their crown G Em D Fables, garments we’ve rejected, and they’ll find us never more Em Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen C Em Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more Em C Em G Em D Em Em C Em Like the river carves the valley, and the oak tree dulls the axe Em Like the moss tears down the palace, while the fallen turn to grass G Em D Like the storm’s distant warning, is but a ripple on the shore Em Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more Em Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen D Em Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more
