In terrible silence you stood at the world's end
And crawled into the sun
Blinded by the signal fires
That seared your heart
And the seething tongues of the lies we became

And I sat in Babel's tower
And I judged the world
And I said I spoke the language
Of saints and sinners
But I preached the world was flat
And slipped between the cracks

In horror I strode to the world's end
Saw some torn by hunger
Others broken by steel
But by the bitterest fortune
We cursed the heathen and holy
Yet found no relief

And we sat in Babel's tower
And we fought over the world
And I never spoke the language
Of your saints and my sinners
Of men nor beast
Who roamed this flat earth

And we sat in judgement
In babel's tower

Liars tongues seethe in fire
At the end of harsh white lines
We set the world to rights, in Babel's tower
Yet I awoke in the same black spirit
We are woke again, in Babel's tower
State once again
And we sat in judgement in Babel's tower
