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
