The Gustav Railway Band - All the Way to Babylon Lyrics

Hold your hand as you fall down
Make from paper birds a crown
Turn your heartache inside out
My soul requires no audience

Fold yourself into a form
Lay and let the ocean swarm
Take you from the heat and warmth
And down with all your innocence

Twist your tongue into a braid
Turn your heart to vibrant shades
Clasp your hands and reach to pray
From your holy Macedon

God is in your cigarettes
House covered in minarets
Corpses dancing pirouettes
All the way to Babylon

Hold on tightly
Dreaming of the snow
Hold on tightly
Scream into the soul
Hold on tightly
Hello, goodbye, hello
Hold on tightly
Watching as you go

Bleeding hearts so proudly weep
Lay down at your father's feet
Pull up the remains and leave
Keep them in the floor

Monoliths do not remain
Mercenary lethargy
What could be your sacred name?
Meet me not in war

Silhouettes of dead machines
Pharaohs' statuettes unclean
Draining from the oily sheen
Upon the backs of traitors

The unending caravan
See them as they walk the ash
No one can hold on to that
We are all invaders

Watch as I coagulate
Hold me down and count my names
Bring me to the point I break
Before the old cadaver

Throw my corpse into the sand
Leave my body where I stand
Gorgons' heads confuse my plans
There's no death in anger

Who pretends to lie alone?
Dissipate into the foam
Rebirth is so monochrome
Over onto Oberon

I could sell myself a death
Vertigo, my only friend
Carrying my hopelessness
All the way to Babylon

All the way to Babylon
All the way to Babylon
All the way to Babylon
All the way to Babylon
