Babel

stand atop the tower of Babel
tell me what you see
broken world; blood, death and warfare
shattered democracy
i have a dream
where man get's long
we could build a better world
a much stronger one

my dream
to reach
from the sacred tower
to touch
to feel
the mighty hand of god
grant me my wishes
for I cannot take this
we're slowly destroying
and never rebuilding
take to the skies
from the tower of Babel!

darkness falls on the tower of Babel
we're blinded by our hate
severing our minds from humanity and feeling
the jaws of hell masticate
nothing will remain of our souls
if we cannot agree, cannot compromise
selling our honour for gold
Dirty Gold

my dream
to reach
from the sacred tower
to touch
to feel
the mighty hand of god
grant me my wishes
for I cannot take this
we're slowly destroying
and never rebuilding
take to the skies
from the tower of Babel!

Saying, come out of that modern babylon, which is both a metaphorical and a real place, though not the same as was before, if you follow. The new babylon, by reason of understanding would be New York City. A major hub of immigrants. But alas, I'm babbling. Great song. Nice edge to them. Both a religious person or a non religious person can still fall in love with this set of lyrics. I like 'em a lot.

Rock Rebel;if you were going to babble,I guess the Babel Thread was THE place to do it!Great choice!
