Refrain I:

Look away from sea

I can take you anywhere.

Spend a vision with me

A chase with the wind.



Refrain II:

Move close to me

I can make you anyone

I think you're ready to see

The gates of Babylon



Chorus:

The power of what has been before

Rises to trap you within

A magic carpet ride a genie may be more

A city of heavenly sin

Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

Sleep with the devil the devil will take you away

Oh Gates of Babylon



You can see but you're blind

Someone turned the sun around

But you can see in your mind

The Gates of Babylon



Chorus:

You're riding the endless caravan

Bonded and sold as a slade

A sabre dance removing all the veils

Getting as good as you gave

Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

Sleep with the devil the devil will take you away



Refrain I

Refrain II



Chorus:

The power of what has been before

Rises to trap you within

A magic carpet ride a genie may be more

A city of heavenly sin

Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

Sleep with the devil the devil will take you away

Black Gates of Babylon



The devil is me

And I'm holding the key

To the gates of sweet hell

Babylon
