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
