[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Oh gates of Babylon

[Verse 2]
You can see but you're blind
Someone turned the sun around
But you can see in your mind
The gates of Babylon
[Pre-Chorus]
You're riding the endless caravan
Bonded and sold as a slave
A saber dance removing all the veils
Getting as good as you gave

[Chorus]
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Black gates of Babylon

[Outro]
The devil is me
And I'm holding the key
To the gates of sweet hell
Babylon
