Analysis of Nolybab
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Babylon is wickedness; end foretold.
Proud, decadent, just like the kings of old.
All gather under the tree
Eating delicacies
Thinking it ain't me
Gathering now
Wickedness
Abounds
See?
Judgements perverted the beast has many crowns.
Open your eyes the nonsense is displayed.
All the world turned upside down
The truth has gone away
Like ships adrift, cut
Tossed in mire
Babylon bewitched us all
With her we play along
But her end is near
Prophesy clear
Get out now
Somehow
Rend.
