Babel
Marco Telles
Babel
In mechanisms, in ignorance
Wandering in circles with no direction
Free falling, in intolerance
Breaking bonds, repeating a jargon
What they have isn’t enough
They always complain in rebellion
They don’t believe in their goodness
They’re testing God’s patience
Build the steps
Stone upon stone
Climb to the top
And everything will come crashing down
Reach for the sky
Touch the divine
Mock what is most high
And everything will be ruined
Fool's sacrifice
Babel
Your pride is what guarantees
And arrogance blinds the view
That it’s impossible, with your works
To build ladders and return to God
They’ve forgotten they’re before
Eyes that never sleep
It’s certain, I know, it won’t go unpunished
Here’s the sentence: Word of confusion
Build the steps
Stone upon stone
Climb to the top
And everything will come crashing down
Reach for the sky
Touch the divine
Mock what is most high
And everything will be ruined
Fool's sacrifice
Babel
Let’s go! Says the fool
He’s forgotten us, it’s been a long time
Let’s go, like fools
Building, the ladder gave way
Build what has already given way
Let’s go! Be fools!
A tower
Our arm
In this land
Our name
