Episode
A new day is rising in ancient Babylon 
Revealing mysteries to see 
and the endless caravan 
never ending it´s journey 
with the wings of the wind I will fly 
I can hear you calling me 
I am blind but I see 


Babylon 
your memory haunts me forever 
won´t leave me be 
Babylon 
your glory´s stronger than ever 
for all to see 


Centuries have passed by 
but your memory still lives on 
In the minds of those who see 
Under the summer moon 
there comes a sight 
that stays with me forever 
I can hear you calling me 
I am blind but I see 


Babylon your memory haunts me forever 
won´t leave me be 
Babylon 
your glory´s stronger that ever 
for all to see 


And underneath the starlit sky 
I feel so strong I´ll never die 
I´m on this road to Eternity 
My soul will live forever - I´m free
