Babel
‘Cause I know that time has numbered my daysAnd I'll go along with everything you sayBut I'll ride home laughing, look at me nowThe walls of my town, they come crumbling downAnd my ears hear the call of my unborn sonsAnd 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 loveCause I know my weakness know my voiceAnd I believe in grace and choiceAnd I know perhaps my heart is farceBut I'll be born without a maskLike the city that nurtured my greed and my prideI stretch my arms into the skyI cry Babel! Babel! Look at me nowThen the walls of my town, they come crumbling downYou ask where will we stand in the winds that will howlAs all we see will slip into the cloudSo come down from your mountain and stand where we've beenYou 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 downI know my weakness know my voiceAnd I believe in grace and choiceAnd I know perhaps my heart is farceBut I'll be born without a mask Aus Songtexte Mania
