4. How Many Miles to Babylon (6:10)
In this wasteland without any shadows
There is no water for my dusty throat
There is no rainbow days filled with silent sorrow
And for our sin there are no antidotes
Eternal sand
There is no end to this no man's land
We all must pay
For the piper we dance while he plays
How many miles to Babylon
How many years musi I carry on
In this our endless searching for the Holy Grail
There is no sleep gor the souls who find no rest
Ships of the desert without rigs or sails
Flotsam and Jetsam floating from the west
Eternal sand
There is no end to this no man's land
We all must pay
For the piper we dance while he plays
How many miles to Babylon
How many years musi I carry on
There is no water for my dusty throat
There is no rainbow days filled with silent sorrow
And for our sin there are no antidotes
Eternal sand
There is no end to this no man's land
We all must pay
For the piper we dance while he plays
How many miles to Babylon
How many years musi I carry on
In this our endless searching for the Holy Grail
There is no sleep gor the souls who find no rest
Ships of the desert without rigs or sails
Flotsam and Jetsam floating from the west
Eternal sand
There is no end to this no man's land
We all must pay
For the piper we dance while he plays
How many miles to Babylon
How many years musi I carry on
