Babylon Vampyres Lyrics - Ghostlights - Avantasia

Aaron: A lot of good advice 

nobody's keeping for themselves 

If you're playing by the rules 

you'll be a trophy on a shelf 

Give in to the ordinary run of things 

like it is meant to be 

There's nothing left of me 

Scientist I: Praying for salvation, floating with the tide 

The very first temptation 

drags you to the other side 

You learn to walk and run 

You fly until you fall as far as I can see 

Aaron: The future ahead was not what it used to be 

Scientist I: Blessed was the darkness - veiling hypocrisy 

Babylon is burning, shining from afar 

Babylon is burning 

Aaron: From sunset to sunrise 

Scientist I: Babylon is burning 

and you're glowing like a fiery star 

And no one can tell if we've been for real 

Babylon is burning 

Babylon is burning 

They say it's coming by the night 

to engraft into the brain 

what a scientific tongue won't recall 

or even phrase 

It's crawling up your spine 

to breed a wicked freak of nature 

We will be a new society 

Aaron: A headless congregation, a vortex needing more 

Scientist I: The road to good intentions is evil to the core 

Aaron: The devil and the deep blue sea are waiting 

Side by side for me 

Aaron: The sweet scent of poison 

hazing the dread away 

This side of the moon I'll confess to... 

another day 

Scientist I: Babylon is burning, shining from afar 

Aaron: Babylon is burning 

From sunset to sunrise 

Scientist I: Babylon is burning 

and you're glowing like a fiery star 

And no one can tell if we've been for real 

Yeah 

Scientist I: Ever since I can remember 

I've been shooting up that road with a dream 

I saw gold at the end of the rainbow 

I was given an idea of what life should be 

What life should be 

Aaron: Ain't there a light above the shadow 

Ain't there blood in the machine 

Ain't there flesh they'd been misleading 

Ain't there a longing soul within? 

Scientist I: I've seen believers on the wayside 

And I'm afraid to say, I think just like you 

That failed to pretend 

they could cope with what they'd find 

When they didn't have a clue - just like you 

Babylon is burning, shining from afar 

Aaron: Babylon is burning 

From sunset to sunrise 

Scientist I: Babylon is burning 

and you're glowing like a fiery star 

And no one can tell if we've been for real, oh 

Babylon is burning, shining from afar 

Aaron: Babylon is burning 

From sunset to sunrise 

Scientist I: Babylon is burning 

and you're glowing like a fiery star 

And no one can tell if we've been for real
