Nimrod

And now,
Now we’ve gathered here
To walk on our steps
Remember that, we’re creators
And destroyers of lives
And praises
Are our driving force,
Our words of glory,
The opus is to be done
Before the sunrise

Here is the tower
Where watchers stare
And eagles dare
Here lies our right

Western heroes and eastern maids
And northern folk
Here lies our right

Our ambition
Almighty, all-powerful
Is good and is right

Our blood was strange
Our words were strange
Our common wishes made a place
Where we felt so strange

And here the guardians of the lake
And there the wanderers from haze
Built our silence place

Our common wishes made a place
Where we felt so strange

Everything is being undone
What we promised now is falling down
A thousand bricks under the clouds
Someone speaks a name no one can spell

And I gave her all my faith
And so I did, but no answer was the same
And I’ll wait before the day
That collapsing Babylon will cease to be

Someone prayed the sacred sun
Before the death of god was sentenced
Our tongues revealed our different thoughts
We’re strangers to the sky
And still don’t know why

And I gave her all my faith
And so I did, but no answer was the same
And I’ll wait before the day that
Collapsing Babylon will cease to be
