Gardens of Babylon
lyrics by Dave Long
Vocals by John Worsley
On the banks
of the Euphrates
watered
by great machines
one of seven wonders
of the ancient world
a man-made mountain
so lush and green
Nebachudnezzar
or Senaherib
It doesn't matter
much to me
Who commissioned
what Alexander's troops
called a wondrous
sight to see
In Babylon
In Babylon
Land of wonders
and of mystery
living on
in legend and history
(SOLO)
Did it ever
really stand?
Scholars argue
and scour the land
finding foundations
of the palace walls
where mighty kings
had once roamed the halls
In the tablets
from Nebachudnezzar's time
not a word
refers at all
to the gardens
though they speak of Babylon
the palace
and the city walls
In Babylon
In Babylon
Land of wonders
and of mystery
living on
in legend and history
In Babylon
In Babylon
