about

The debut single from Troys 3rd album 'Holy Colony Burning Acres'.

lyrics

They catch you sleeping it’s an early grave
They suck you in and spit you out
if only there was another way
we wouldn’t have to scream and shout

it grows, Babylon grows x2

we see the flames in the distance
and nobody wanna put them out
epitome of persistence
we might as well scream and shout

it grows Babylon grows x2

Bridge
History swept under the rug
Forgot who was original
We are the people of the land and that’ll never change
Mountains watched since the dawn of time
and remain until were gone
As long as there’s Queens
there will never be peace

now everybody wanna helping hand
or somebody that’ll understand
We send a message to the western land that they live in castles made of sand

it grows Babylon grows
