Tower of Babel

Brick by brick they built it high

Reachin" for the empty sky

Voices clashin" tongues collide

Babble loud but none confide

Dreams in ruins stone by stone

Lost their way the seeds were sown

Scattered far they roam this land

Understanding slips through hands

Rise and fall the Babel wall

Echoes in the endless hall

Words lose meaning crumble down

Kingdoms fade without a crown

Lost the light the sun won"t shine

Shadowed paths and cleft in mind

Speech is shattered hearts estranged

Silence reigns where words are caged

Broken dreams and fractured sight

Lonely whispers dark as night

Unity within the reach

Turns to dust with every breach

Cold the wind on towers tall

Can"t rebuild what’s bound to fall

History writ in tongues unknown

Faded scripts on ancient stone
