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
We remember, we remember, we remember these I am

A 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)

A golden ocean turned to fire
And burned ten thousand ships along the road to Babylon
A 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)
A 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)
