Manfred Mann - The Road To Babylon (Mann, Thomas Pattenden) lyrics

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
