The Tower

After the flood
Humanity with one voice
A tower built for the heavens
In homage to a God
Stone forever climbing
A monolith to forever

Words are but sounds
Lost in the air
Will we not ever understand?
How did we go so wrong before our God?
Did we ignore his command?

After the fall
Screaming in the dark
Lost in an age of contusion
Denied the reach to heaven
Cast down upon the earth
Lost ambition gone forever

The greatest wind to ever blow
Laid flat the hubris of man
A confusion of many tongues
With a race divided
Scattered now across the land

What is this that climbs before me?
Has my creation lost its way?
How has this ever come to be?
How could I trust them not to stray?

Words are but sounds
Lost in the air
Will we not ever understand?
How did we go so wrong before our God?
Did we ignore his command?

The greatest wind to ever blow
Laid flat the hubris of man
A confusion of many tongues
With a race divided
Scattered now across the land

The greatest wind to ever blow
Laid flat the tower of man
The greatest wind to ever blow
Destroyed the tower of man
