A Tower of Ashes · letra

Behold the tower brick by brick we raise it upward to the sky To reach the heights of heaven and beyond With eyes of fire and burning pride our power cannot be denied So God Himself can look at what we've done
Questioning my own intent and motive Babel, are you really all that far away? Sometimes I wonder what we'd do if the applause had died And we found ourselves performing to an empty hall upon an empty stage
The eyes of God, or the eyes of man? No one can serve two masters in opposing masterplans But we go our way And keep climbing higher and higher But farther to fall And we build all our strongholds behind all our walls But we stand on the threshold of losing it all
All the glory we crave All the towers we raise All the pride we build up to the sky When the vanity fades The illusion gives way to a tower of ashes and lies
Still we seek to build our towers higher and higher Sometimes when we think we're so high the only way to go is down When it is our pride that takes us higher and higher We watch our towers crumble and in helplessness we hit the ground
Higher and higher But farther to fall And we build all our strongholds behind all our walls But we stand on the threshold of losing it all
All the glory we crave All the towers we raise All the pride we build up to the sky When the vanity fades The illusion gives way to a tower of ashes and lies
