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

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
