The Road To Babylon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
By the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept and
Wept for thee, Zion
We remember we remember we
Remember thee, Zion
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
