Mumford & Sons - Babel Lyrics

Mumford & Sons - Babel Lyrics

I know the time has numbered my days

And I’ll go along with everything you say

But I’ll ride home laughing, look at me now

For the walls of my tower they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons

And I know the choices color all I’ve done

But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son

I ain’t ever lived a year better spent in love

‘Cause I know my weakness, know my voice

And I’ll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is fast

But I’ll be born without a mask

[Mumford & Sons - Babel Lyrics on http://mrkayrell.blogspot.com]

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride

I stretched my arms into the sky

I cry Babel, Babel, look at me now

For the walls of my tower they come crumbling down

You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl

Is all we see we’ll slipping to the cloud?

So come down from your mountain and stand where we’ve been

You know our breath is weak and our body thin

Press my nose up to the glass around your heart

I should’ve known I was weaker from the start

You’ll build your walls, and I will play my bloody part

To tear, tear them down

Well I’m gonna tear, tear them down

‘Cause I know my weakness, know my voice

And I’ll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is fast

But I’ll be born without a mask
