The tower of Babel

Stacking bricks up high to the sky they climb

Every word we speak trying to beat the divine

Tongues tangled up in a storm of sound

The higher we go the more we break down

Built a dream so big it could scrape the stars

But ambitions heavy when you push too far

Language shattered like glass on the floor

A thousand voices but we're not sure ànymore

The mortar was pride the bricks were our sin

The sky ain't a place we could ever win

Confusion reigning in a world untamed

Now we talk apart but the story's the same

Tower talk crumbles when the words collide

Voices split apart like the ocean wide

Reaching for the heavens but the ground won't stay

Lost in translation as we drift away

Tower falls the echoes scream

Chasing power a reckless dream

Voices tangled lost in fight

Babel crumbles out of sight

Bricks by bricks they stack so high

Reaching up to touch the sky

Tongues collide words turn to dust

In Babel's shadow dreams combust

Builder's pride it filled the air

Each stone laid with egos flair

Languages split hearts divide

In their hubris they collide

Oh the higher we climb the further we fall

Can't understand each other at all

Chaos speaks and reason dies

Babel's lesson in disguise

Tower falls the echoes scream

Chasing power a reckless dream

Voices tangled lost in fight

Babel crumbles out of sight

Tower falls the echoes scream

Chasing power a reckless dream

Voices tangled lost in fight

Babel crumbles out of sight
