    Lyrics:
    This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
    There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
    A city of evil.
    There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
    Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
    Her place will come all at once as mourners watch her burn.
    Destroyed in an hour.
    Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
    Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The day has come for all us sinners.
    If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
    Flee the burning, greedy city.
    Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.
    I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
    You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
    Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
    You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

    I think I can provide an explanation for why each and every person who got "possessed" ended up in that position:
    1) The first girl most likely was underage young and had nothing but the intention of getting famous, hence the contract and her enthusiasm when she received it. In a way, she (metaphorically) succumbed to fame
    2) The young boy was being exposed to strippers and erotic dancers at too young of an age, which, at this point in his life, he's hitting puberty. By being exposed like that, it gives him the wrong mindset of how to treat a woman and therefore, makes him unable to properly respect women
    3) The drunk male obviously succumbed to alcoholism and believes he's entitled to whatever he wants and believes he is invincible. His possession is through a shot of alcohol and symbolizes that intoxication has taken over his existence and all he'll ever know
    4) The stripper gets possessed simply for letting herself be easily controlled by the people around her and therefore further influenced towards a downward spiral she calls her life
    5) And finally the Harlot herself, possessed for simply doing the deeds of wicked people.
    If anyone thinks I messed up, feel free to correct me. I'm always up for what other people think.

    "Beast And The Harlot"
    This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
    There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
    A city of evil.
    There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
    Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy burden makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
    Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
    Destroyed in an hour.
    Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
    Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
    The Beast and the Harlot.
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
    The day has come for all us sinners.
    If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
    Flee the burning, greedy city.
    Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.
    I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
    You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
    Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
    You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
    [2x]
    She's a dwelling place for demons.
    She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
    Every filthy bird and makes us drink
    The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
    Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
