kory quinn - in the shadow of the tower of babel lyrics

Loading...

[spoken]
gonna play that song about facebook

[verse 1]
well how can you think in a place like this?
my lips are barren, betrayed by your kiss
my throat is sore, and tender for song
and my voice, now weathered, that this whiskey prolongs

there’s no fight worth fighting anymore
in this world that’s always at war
there’s no wall that can keep that away
since all we know is to hope and to pray

[chorus]
forget about those stories, like fame and old glory
let me walk in the steps of the traveled
and leave me be, to scatter my seed
in the shadow of the tower of babel

[verse 2]
well how can you hear the thoughts of the criers?
their ears are burning from your poison desires
and their heads are heavy from the history of time
yeah, their hearts are like levies, about to break ’til they dry

there’s no room to broadcast my truth
in this world so addicted to proof
there’s no reason for you to care
cause it’s someone else’s burden to bare

[chorus]
forget about those stories, like fame and old glory
let me walk in the steps of the traveled
and leave me be, to scatter my seed
in the shadow of the tower of babel

[verse 3]
well, how can you see what i see from up there?
my legs are aching comin’ down off your stairs
and my feet are broken from the miles i’ve walked
and my tongue is twisted, yet too empty to talk

there’s no way we can shake off these chains
in this world held onto by reigns
there’s no race that can ever be run
in which the winner hasn’t already won

[chorus]
forget about those stories, like fame and old glory
let me walk in the steps of the traveled
and leave me be, to scatter my seed
in the shadow of the tower of babel

[verse 4]
and how can you taste from the river of life?
when our dreams are shattered by their pain and their strife
since our days are numbered by fire, quake, or flood
and our ways are worn thin, and poor is our blood

there’s no words can truly express
this world that’s so in distress
there’s no cure for what ails ya
when you hold on too tight to what fails ya

[chorus]
forget about those stories, like fame and old glory
let me walk in the steps of the traveled
and leave me be, to scatter my seed
in the shadow of the tower of babel

in the shadow of the tower of babel
in the shadow of the tower of babel
