Babylon is Fallen

Hail the day so long expected
Hail the year of full release
Zion's walls are now erected
And the watchmen publish peace
Through our Shiloh's wide dominion
Hear the trumpet loudly roar
Babylon is fallen, fallen, fallen
Babylon is fallen to rise no more

All her merchants stand with wonder
What is this that comes to pass?
Murmering like the distant thunder
Crying "O, alas, alas"
Swell the sound, ye kings and nobles
Priest and people, rich and poor
Babylon is fallen, fallen, fallen
Babylon is fallen to rise no more

Blow the trumpet in Mount Zion
Christ will come a second time
Ruling with a rod of iron
All who now as foes combine
Babel's garments we've rejected
And our fellowship is o'er
Babylon is fallen, fallen, fallen
Babylon is fallen to rise no more
Babylon is fallen, fallen, fallen
Babylon is fallen to rise no more

I only hope that the might campaign of Romney runs in all directions speaking babble.
