Babel

(duas batidas para baixo) Riff 1Riff 1Cause I know that time has numbered my daysRiff 1And I go along with everything you sayBut I write home laughing, look at me now, Riff 1The walls of my town they come crumbling downAnd my ears hear the call of my unborn sonsRiff 1And I know their choices color all I've doneBut I'll explain it all to the watchman's sonI never lived a year better spent in love Riff 1Cause I know my weakness know my voiceSo now believe in grace and choiceAnd I know perhaps my heart is vastBut I'll be born without a maskWoo!Like the city that nurtured my greed and my prideRiff 1I stretch my arms into the skyI cry Babel! Babel! Look at me nowRiff 1Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling downYou ask where will we stand in the winds that will howlRiff 1As all we see will slip into the cloudSo come down from your mountain and stand where we've beenRiff 1You know our breath is weak and our body thinPress my nose up to the glass around your heartI should've known I was weaker from the startYou'll build your walls and I will play my bloody partTo tear, tear them downWell I'm gonna tear, tear them down'Cuz I know my weakness know my voiceSo now believe in grace and choiceAnd I know perhaps my heart is farceBut I'll be born without a maskRiff 1
