lyrics:
The Tower grows as the day goes on
It covers most of the sky
A shadow moving through Babylon
Whispering lullabies
A secret spreading without a word
Like fire inside the walls
And people hiding from what they heard
Before the Tower can fall
Maybe I’m not the one who saw you on the run
But there were burns on your fingertips
Maybe I’m not the one who needed you to stay
Maybe I needed someone to blame
They descend to spread fire and fear
Their words become a disease
The chance to burn from inside these walls
Is just a case of degrees
Foundations fail at the hint of decay
With fire harvesting bones
And people run without saying a word
So maybe you’re not alone
Maybe I’m not the one who saw you on the run
But there were burns on your fingertips
Maybe I’m not the one who needed you to stay
Maybe I needed someone to blame
The Tower fell
And now I feel the Sun
But I know the Tower will rise again
