come let us make bricks
and burn them hard,
we´ll build a city with a tower for the world
and climb so we can reach
anything we may propose,

anything at all

build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper,
build me up, then tear down
these joining walls
so they can´t climb at all

I know why you tore it down that day,
you thought, that if you got caught
we´d all go away,
like a spoiled little baby
who can´t come out and play,
you had your revenge

build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper,
build me up, then tear down

these joining walls
so they can´t climb at all

well madness reigned
and paradise drowned
when Babel´s walls came crashing down
now the echoes roar
a story writ
that was hardly understood
and never any good
