C#m
These walls are caving in
G#m
You're paying for your sins
A                  F#m
Over and then again
C#m
All within loved in lands
G#m
The gates are opening
A                        F#m
You're melting in the sand

                    C#m
What planet are you on
                G#m
What constellation
                         A
You're floating like a ghost
                F#m
Out into the unknown
                   C#m
What planet are you on
              G#m
Cosmic phenomenon
                  A
Stars by the millions
               F#m
Oh holy golden sun

Chorus:
                        C#m G#m A F#m
To the gates of Babylon
                        C#m G#m A F#m
To the gates of Babylon
To the gates of Babylon

Dreaming and lost alone
Far from your mother's home
The madness in your bones
It's boiling in your blood
And endless sky above
These deserts that you roam

What planet are you on?
What constellation?
You're floating like a ghost
Out here in the unknown
What planet are you on?
Cosmic phenomenon
Stars by the millions
Oh holy, golden sun

Chorus:
To the gates of Babylon
To the gates of Babylon
To the gates of Babylon
