The wind did how through the canyon's throat
A preacher's cry on a sinner's note
Shadows danced on the chapel's wall
Where Babel's tower began to fall

Smoke in the sky
Whispers in the dust
Voices of the damned and the ruins they trust

Ghost riders in Babel
Riding the flame
Lost in the ruins
Calling his name

Ghost riders in Babel
Shadows untamed
The tongues of the broken
They echo the same

A rider's face pale as the Moon
Eyes like coals burning too soon
The ground it trembled, the stars they wept
And the sins of the earth they never slept

Chains in the wind
Prayers turned to rust
The choir sings low in the language of dust

Ghost riders in Babel
Riding the flame
Lost in the ruins
Calling his name

Ghost riders in Babel
Shadows untamed
The tongues of the broken
They echo the same

Ghost riders in Babel
Riding the flame
Lost in the ruins
Calling his name

Ghost riders in Babel
Shadows untamed
The tongues of the broken
They echo the same
