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
