Verse 1:
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 sandPre-Chorus
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 sunC#m G#m A F#m To the gates of Babylon C#m G#m A F#m To the gates of Babylon N.C. To the gates of BabylonVerse 2:
C#m Dreaming and lost alone G#m Far from your mother's home A F#m The madness in your bones C#m It's boiling in your blood G#m And endless sky above A F#m These deserts that you roamPre-Chorus
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 sunC#m G#m A F#m To the gates of Babylon C#m G#m A F#m To the gates of Babylon N.C.
