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 someone will be building it over and over 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
