Oh great mammon of form and function
Careless consumerist consumption
Dangerous dysfunction
Described as expensive tasteI'm a people disgraced
By what I claim I need
And what I want to waste
I take no account for nothing
If it's not mineIt's a misappropriation of funds
Protect my ninety percent with my guns
Whose side am I on?
Well who's winning?My kingdom's built with the blood of slaves
Orphans, widows, and homeless graves
I sold their souls just to build my private mansionSome people say that my time is coming
Kingdom come is the justice running
Down, down, down on meI'm a poor child, I'm a lost son
I refuse to give my love to anyone,
Fight for the truth,
Or help the weaker ones
Because I love my BabylonI am a slave, I was never free
I betrayed you for blood money
Oh I bought the world, all is vanity
Oh my Lord I'm your enemyCome to me, and find your life
Children sing, Zion's in sightI said don't trade your name for a serial number
Priceless lives were born from under graves
Where I found youSay, my name ain't yours and yours is not mine
Mine is the Lord, and yours is my child
That's how it's always beenTime to make a change
Leave your home
Give to the poor all that you own
Lose your life, so that you could find itFirst will be last when the true world comes
Livin' like a humble fool to overcome
The upside-down wisdom
Of a dying worldZion's not built with hands
And in this place God will dwell with man
Sick be healed and cripples stand
Sing AlleluMy kingdom's built with the blood of my son
Selfless sacrifice for everyone
Faith, hope, love, and harmonyI said let this world know me by your love
By your loveOh my child, daughters and sons
I made you in love to overcome
Free as a bird, my flowers in the sun
On your way to Mount ZionAll you slaves, be set free
Come on out child and come on home to me
We will dance, we will rejoice
If you can hear me then follow my voiceSongwriters: Garrels Joshua Michael

https://kingdavidstable.com/zion-and-babylon2012-01-24 · Zion lays down its life; Babylon preserves and protects itself. Zion waits upon God to raise up what God wants in His timing; Babylon schemes, organizes, and promotes to execute its own plan in its own way and time. Zion seeks the Lord with a whole heart to be possessed by Him; Babylon goes after things and people to possess them. Zion is the city of God; Babylon seeks …

We have to create Zion in the midst of Babylon. “Zion in the midst of Babylon.” What a luminous and incandescent phrase, as a light shining in the midst of spiritual darkness. What a concept to hold close to our hearts, as we see Babylon becoming more widespread.

Zion is contrasted with Babylon, the place of exile (Psalm 137:1) where their captors taunted them, saying "sing us one of the songs of Zion!" (Psalm 137:3). Just as Zion is both a real and a spiritual place, Babylon is its opposite: a real place that has a symbolic, spiritual counterpart as the persecutor of God's people and a city of evil (Revelation 18:1-24). Mount Zion, the physical …
