Babylon Lyrics by Edguy

Monuments

1999

Yeah...!

In a world of hate pollution
We can't breathe anymore
We've to leave and this time you
The pawn, have won

On our quest for nowhere island
We set off to the sea
You call surrender what we call a calm
Before the storm

Pounding thoughts of home
They make me know:
"I will return!
I don't live my life for you
It's too short to get burned
Stand upright and face the wind!"

Time to go back where I belong
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon
Time to go back where I belong
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Babylon!
Babylon...!

You only can love me if you can convert me
To attitudes of your brain
You blame us for doing things
That you don't know

You tell me what you'd do
If you were me, but you are you
And I am I
Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!"

Pounding thoughts of home
They make me know:
"I will return!"
I don't want to hurt you
But you will have to learn:
You are you and I am I!

Time to go back where I belong
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon
Time to go back where I belong
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Babylon!

Oooooh, yeah!

Time to go back where I belong
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon

Time to go back where I belong
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon

Time to go back where I belong
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon

Time to go back where I belong
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Babylon!
