Gates Of Babylon Lyrics - Dream Theater

[recorded live at the l'amour, ny, 9/25/1986 with chris collins on vocals.] 

[available on the "no sleep since brooklyn/instrumental iii" cd. ] 

[these are the lyrics from the rainbow version, it is hard to understand ] 

[much of what chris collins is actually singing. ] 

- ronnie james dio (rainbow - from the album "long live rock 'n' roll") 

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
