Dark Skies Over Babylon

Here I stand once again
On the edge of right or wrong
And I face the world a broken man
Who's watched his dreams turn to stone?

And I've played the fool so many times
Now I ask you once again for your forgiveness
If I only understood
What makes you smile?

If you choose to live your life
Under that black cloud
With no silver line
Please forgive me if I turn
And walk away
'Cause I found something better

Tell me why does the rain fall down on me
While I stand here all alone
Now I've opened my eyes and now I see
There are dark skies over Babylon

Here I stand once again
On the night so dark and long
Put your faith in me now
Give me your hand, please be strong

We've played the fools so many times
And I ask you once again for your forgiveness
If I only understood
What makes you smile?
