Babel

Filter my words away

My civility

Kept in check by your witch-hunt reprisals. (Kicking and screaming)

My voice weakening

Hope kept close to me

Our cries will not go undeterred, (Hear me)

For how long?

Unable to bridge the divide

Forces break us

Mold us to meet the grand design

Intellect evading

While innocence just fades

Perversion infectious

Creeping into every aspect of our

Lifeline

Dangling above the wreck

Futures burn below

And there will be nothing

(And there will be nothing)

Left

When my words are never heard or spoken

I know there is nothing left

They can't silence, bury

Voices that carry

Asphyxiate the flame that lights the mind

Distance, hours

Can't hold us down within this

Cage no longer

I will speak from my heart this time

Oh

The sharpened wit

Cutting deep with a razor tongue

Dictate all my thoughts

While your galavanting

Masquerade

Disguised as hope for all

Targets those who will refuse you

Keeping me where I can't reach my

Life-line

Dangling above the wreck

Futures burn below

And there will be nothing

(And there will be nothing)

Kingdoms crumble away

Such hostility

Resonates through me

Worlds so far away

Passion driving

Our hands to act in fear

They can't silence, bury

Voices that carry

Asphyxiate the flame that lights the mind

Distance, hours

Can't hold us down within this

Cage no longer

I will speak from my heart this time

Can't hold us down

Can't force us to accept this fate

Speak your, speak your heart and mind

We will be heard

Our calls will echo far and wide

For how long?

Unable to bridge the divide

Forces break us

Mold us to meet the grand design
