the road to babylon

manfred mann's earth band

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
