[recorded live at the l'amour, ny, 9/25/1986 with chris collins on vocals.] [available on the "no sleep since brooklyn/instrumental iii" cd. ] [these are the lyrics from the rainbow version, it is hard to understand ] [much of what chris collins is actually singing. ] - ronnie james dio (rainbow - from the album "long live rock 'n' roll") 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 Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away Oh gates of babylon 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 sabre dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away 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 Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away Black gates of babylon The devil is me And i'm holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon
