Lyrics
Ancient Babylon
Well the city lost it's magic
And the lights no longer shine
I've got to find a place out there that
Really suits my mind, ya
Really suits my mind
Now look at what you're seeing
And think of what you'll hear
If we don't stop this crazy pace
The end will soon be near
We'll have no time for fear
Slow down brother
Must we live life so fast
Just like ancient Babylon
Were riding the same path
Now it's said that time repeats itself
And never is it lost
If we don't slow the hands of time
Then we shall pay the cost
We're gonna pay the cost
Slow down brother
Must we live life so fast
Just like ancient Babylon
Were riding the same path
