Gates of Babylon

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Look away from the sea

I can take you anywhere

Spend a vision with me

A chase with the wind

Move closer to me

I can make you anyone

I think you're ready to see

The gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before

Rises to trap you within

A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more

A city of heavenly sin

[Chorus]

Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away

Oh gates of Babylon

[Verse 2]

You can see but you're blind

Someone turned the sun around

But you can see in your mind

The gates of Babylon

You're riding the endless caravan

Bonded and sold as a slave

A saber dance removing all the veils

Getting as good as you gave

[Chorus]

Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

Look away from the sea

I can take you anywhere

Spend a vision with me

A chase with the wind

Move closer to me

I can make you anyone

I think you're ready to see

The gates of Babylon

The power of what has been before

Rises to trap you within

A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more

A city of heavenly sin

[Chorus]

Sleep with the devil and then you must pay

Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away

Black gates of Babylon

[Outro]

The devil is me and I'm holding the key

To the gates of sweet hell, Babylon
