The Tower of Babel

This tower is higher than mountains
And it's piercing the skies
Its spires would shine in darkness
Beyond the clouds
Forbidden rebellious instincts
Are rising again
Creation of the human spirit
Is growing high into the air

Indeterminable collision
Barriers will fall under daring rush
Providential decision
The black colossus is doomed to tumble down

That tower now in ruins
All traces are gone
Eternal sands have devoured
Remains of the walls
All blocks of firmest stone
Have mouldered away
But somеone will be building it over and ovеr
Again and again

A daring challenge to the fate
Won't be lost for nothing
And everyone's erecting spires
Of his own Babylon tower
And though these towers will tumble down
But the new ones will rise
Eternal spiral with no end
The constant flow of life
