Your Way to Babylon

from Crooked Earth by Ben Smith

/

lyrics

The stone the angels rolled away
the rocks that lined its pathway
it rolls into the city street
it's pressed and set into concrete
and that's the road you travel on
on your way to Babylon
follow on the yellow line
Find out if this soul is mine

The rocks your ship was dashed upon
are glowing in the rosy dawn
covered in a mossy skin
Cooled off by the trade-winds
and that's the sea you travel on
on your way to Babylon
follow all the stars that shine
Find out if this soul is mine

The stone that grows out of the ground
from the valley to the icy crown
the echoes barely amplify
they calm the birds and pacify
that's the sky you fly upon
on your way to Babylon
follow clouds that pass on by
find out if this soul is mine.
