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
