In terrible silence you stood at the world's end And crawled into the sun Blinded by the signal fires That seared your heart And the seething tongues of the lies we became
I sat in babel's tower And judged the world Said I spoke the language Of saints and sinners But preached the world was flat And slipped between the cracks
In horror I strode to the world's end Saw some torn by hunger Others broken by steel But by the bitterest fortune Cursed the heathen and holy But found no relief
We sat in babel's tower And fought over the world I never spoke the language Of your saints and sinners Of men nor beast Who roamed this flat earth
Liars tongues seethe in fire At the end of harsh white lines We set the world to rights Yet I awoke in the same black spirit State once again And we sat in judgement in babel's tower
