By the waters of Babylon
|
We lay down and wept and
|
Wept for these I am
|
We remember we remember we
|
Remember these I am
|
|
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
|
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
|
