Babylon

refr.:
Meisjes wachten nachten
Op de god Sjalomon Ra
De draak bewaakt Ophelia
Die in de laan der leguanen
Met jasmijn onder platanen
Terugdenkt aan Antarctica
Helion verkracht daarna
Voor mijn ogen Ariadne
Zacht glazuur is Babylon
Tempelgoud glanst helder
In de stralen van de zon
Daar rijst herboren Helion
Door de gongen onderbroken
Spoort de zon in stroken
Voor de Tongenpoort omhoog
Helion doodt Oberon
Voor de ogen van Apollo
Zacht glazuur is Babylon
Priesters heffen horens
Voor de witte stenen god
Elysee beweent het lot
Als het leger heeft gestreden
Er zijn meesters overleden
Bij het eerste lentefeest
Helion speelt de bigot
Voor de ogen van Nemesis
Zacht glazuur is Babylon
refr.
