Babylon
Julian Perretta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining on, shining on, through
Darkess my friend
Standing out on that road
With the serpent bitting my toes
Where he goes we both now
Dancing out in the dark
There's a ray of light in my heart
Shining on through flesh and bone
Streets are full of old ghosts
Feel the force of all those souls
Where they go heaven knows
The road to babylon,the road to
Babylon, the road to
Babylon babylon, home again
Babylon babylon, home again
On the tip of my tongue
Where the burden begun
You and I are still one
Babylon babylon, home again
Dancing out in the dark
There's a ray of light in my heart
Shining on through flesh and bone
Streets are full of old ghosts
Feel the force of all those souls
Where they go heaven knows
The road to babylon,the road to
Babylon, the road to
Babylon babylon, home again
Babylon babylon, home again
Babylon babylon, home again

Babylon babylon, home again
Returning to Babylon, my familiar surroundings
Shining on, shining on, through
Continuing to persevere and shine even in the darkness
Darkness my friend
Embracing the darkness as a companion
