The Road to Babylon

Manfred Mann's Earth Band
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
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
We lay down and wept and
Wept for these I am
A golden ocean turned to fire
And burned ten thousand ships
Along the road to Babylon
That 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
Well, well, well
Solo
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
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
