Build a tower, to reach the sky To touch God, and displace Him When you're there you'll be king But no, you'll fall from the last step Great haughtiness light heartedness human illness Stone by stone, you're rising up Life by life, you reach the top Step by step, He'll push you down Tongue by tongue, you've lost the speech See ten thousand men See ten thousand lives though all alone No one to hear you, to understand Cry to him when you'll be down He won't listen, won't understand On the burnt on the dust remains of your work You'll mourn my friend, wonder what have you done You'll pay my son for all your deeds
