Burning Down The Opera (live) Lyrics - 2003

[ Buy Burning Down The Opera (live) ]

[Sammet]

Yeah...!

In a world of hate pollution
We can't breathe anymore.
We've to leave and this time you,
The pawn, have won.
On our quest for nowhere island
We set off to the sea.
You call surrender what we call a calm
Before the storm...

[Bridge]
Pounding thoughts of home
They make me know... I will return!
I don't live my life for you
It's too short to get burned.
Stand upright and face the wind...

[Chorus]
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me from
Raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear Babylon!
Babylon...!

You only can love me if you can convert me
To attitudes of your brain.
You blame us for doing things
That you don't know
You tell me what you'd do
If you were me, but you are you and I am I
Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!"

[Bridge]
Pounding thoughts of home
They make me know... I will return!
I don't want to hurt you
But you will have to learn...
You are you and I am I!

[Chorus]
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me from
Raising towers in Babylon
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one will accuse me
For I do not fear Babylon!

[Solo]

Ohhh...

Oh yeah...

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me from
Raising towers in Babylon
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me from
Raising towers in Babylon

[Chorus]
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me from
Sending ships to Babylon
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear...
Babylon!
