Текст песни The Road To Babylon - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

By the waters, the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept
And wept for these I am
We remember, we remember
We remember these I am
By the waters, the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept
And wept for these I am

The 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

We lay down and wept
And wept for these I am

A golden ocean turned to fire
And burned ten thousand ships
Along the road to babylon
Then 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
Well well well

By the waters, the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept
And wept for these I am
We lay down and wept
And wept for these I am

The 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
