The Tower Of Babylon

Those who're dead cannot pass on the knowledge they earned.
Nor can avoid repeating the mistakes from which they learned.
And because man is proud, unteachable, don't listen to someone else.
He built a tower up to the heavens to glorify himself.

A reminder to all believers.
Their god was always just a deceiver.

Has man ever built something so beautiful?
The tower casts a shadow over the world.
And at the same time it is its Sun.
Shining bright. Sign of pride.

A time has passed, and what a surprise when the god opens his eyes.
The fear was gone for Babylon, expand up to the skies.
They lost their faith, forgot his name, did not rejoice in his light.
Full of spite and jealousy, he went to show his might.

Wrath in his eyes and voice of thunder.
The people stood in silent wonder.

How dare you to look down upon me.
Clasp your hands, obey and bend the knee.
Strike of lightning turned the day into
A Pile of stones. Flesh and bones.

Everyone went off to find a new land.
Their speech no one can understand.
Now the beauty and glory has gone.
No one will remember Babylon.
