Who was the angel that rode a harley from The project to the house of parliament And opened the book in the devil's chamber And put the true name of the lord in it? Old jerusalem, new jerusalem Comes like this beast with a ball of fire They poisoned the scriptures And gave us the pictures of false messiahs It was all a lie Mystery babylon, tumbling down Satan's establishment crumbling down This is the year that I come for the crown Bury my enemies under the ground
