Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride Riff 1 I stretch my arms into the sky I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now Riff 1 Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl Riff 1 As all we see will slip into the cloud So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been Riff 1 You know our breath is weak and our body thin Press my nose up to the glass around your heart I should've known I was weaker from the start You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part To tear, tear them down Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down 'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice So now believe in grace and choice And I know perhaps my heart is farce But I'll be born without a mask Riff 1
