Angel of Babylon Lyrics by Avantasia

Angel of Babylon

2010

[Verse 1: Tobias]
You turn off the light
And you won't make no difference
You hear the echoes fade away
When the cries of despair
Turn to a sound in the distance
The road ain't divine
Black are the wings that will carry me home
[Pre-Chorus: Jorn]
Tower in the night, up to the sky
Carry our remains, angel of light
To the dark side of Paradise
[Chorus: Tobias]
On wings of fire to the back side of light
From Babylon to Paradise I crawl
I've seen iniquity galore
Been worth a detour and some more
The snake in the backyard of heaven
[Jorn]
Venus guiding to the back door of love
From Babylon to Paradise we're drawn
I've seen iniquity galore
Been worth a detour and some more
The snake in the backyard of heaven, yea-yeah
[Verse 2: Tobias]
I feel how I faint as I'm crossing the Acheron
Wash away my innocence
Was I losing my way
When the sky has been blackened, oh
This short cut of evil
Where do they drive me, where will I go
[Pre-Chorus: Tobias]
Days gone by time after time
I'm going insane, losing my mind
To the dark side of Paradise
[Chorus: Jorn]
On wings of fire to the back side of light
From Babylon to Paradise I crawl
I've seen iniquity galore
Been worth a detour and some more
The snake in the backyard of heaven
[Tobias]
Venus guiding to the back door of love
From Babylon to Paradise I'm drawn
I've seen iniquity galore
Been worth a detour and some more
The snake in the backyard of heaven
[Solo: Jens Johansson]
[Chorus: Tobias]
Wings of fire to the back side of light
From Babylon to Paradise I crawl
I've seen iniquity galore
Been worth a detour and some more
The snake in the backyard of heaven
Venus guiding to the back door of love
From Babylon to Paradise I'm drawn
I've seen iniquity galore
Been worth a detour and some more
The snake in the backyard of heaven
Yeah-yeah-yeah
