THE ROAD TO BABYLON
Mann/Thomas/Pattenden-Earthly Music Ltd.
By the waters, the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and wept for these I am
We remember, we remember, we remember these I am
[repeat to fade]
A golden helmet blinded minds
Among ten thousand swords along the road to Babylon
A golden thunder silenced songs
Among ten thousand voices on the road to Babylon
Well, well, well, beware that golden helmet
Well, well, well, there's no easy way to go
Well, well, well, no easy road to follow
Well, well, well
A golden ocean turned to fire
And burned ten thousand ships along the road to Babylon
A golden dreamer touched the sky
Alone in empty silence on the road to Babylon
Well, well, well, beware that golden thunder
Well, well, well, that dreamed and sang the song
Well, well, well, the empty sound of sorrow
By the waters, the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and wept for these I am
We remember, we remember, we remember these I am
[fading]
A golden helmet blinded minds
Among ten thousand swords along the road to Babylon
A golden thunder silenced songs
Among ten thousand voices on the road to Babylon
Well, well, well, beware that golden helmet
Well, well, well, there's no easy way to go
Well, well, well, no easy road to follow
Well, well, well
