Lyrics:

Refrain I: Look away from sea I can take you anywhere. Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind. Refrain II: Move close to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The gates of Babylon Chorus: The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie may be more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil 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 Chorus: You're riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slade 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 the devil will take you away Refrain I Refrain II Chorus: The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie may be more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil 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
