lyrics

INTRO
Once upon a time, the idea that energy could be harvested straight out of thin air would have
Seemed like a work of fiction straight out of the imagination of Jules Verne.

But today, we are seeing what was once just a fantasy born into fruition through the spectacular
genius of Oliver Graves.

V1
Gather round me children for the tale of a man
Who thought he’d make a name through an impervious plan
He’d build the tallest tower and he would ascend
Now none evade his sight throughout the land

His power was perfected
In the temple he erected
Now forever insurrection
Could be crushed beneath his hand

And with his mighty voice he would amend
This riddle so we could not comprehend

C1
Babel on and on in his Babylon
Variety’s undone
With one name for everyone

Babel on till the sky is gone
And his candle’s burning brighter than the sun

V2
But the cedars for your coffins are already hewn
Your running out of heat inside your hot air balloons
The chubby lady’s ready and she’s dying to croon
A tune to usher in the days of doom

For lately we ain’t findin’
Any honey in the lion
Men are lying with Delilah
And their fire is subdued

Apologies for spreading woe and gloom
But read the sign this tower is your tomb

CHORUS 2
Babel on and on in your Babylon
Variety’s undone
With one name for everyone

Babel on till the sky is gone
And your candle’s burning brighter than the sun

V3
Hold on to your soul though these days may be bleak
St Michael has been summoned immaterially
To spear this mighty tannin, cast him into the sea
A shield for those who never bent their knee

CHORUS 3
For now we Babel on and on in our Babylon
Variety’s undone
With one name for everyone

Babel on till the sky is gone
And your candle’s burning brighter than the sun

La de da da de da de da
AHHHHH Whoa
La de da da de da de da
And your candle’s burning brighter than the sun x3

A beautiful mix of rock and folk with thoughtful, story-like lyrics and beautiful harmonies... one of my favorite all time albums. So hard to pick between Curses and the Garden. anodyneavian
