By the waters of Babylon
We lay down and wept
And wept for these I am
(Sung in a round)
We remember we remember we
Remember 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 ...
(Sung in a round)
By the waters of Babylon

Remember 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 ...
