Babel Dissolved

Intro

Verse 1

Our palates are quarries of broken stone

Spitting verbs that the wind has disowned

Your hands raise walls of a foreign syntax

My mouth a temple your dialect attacks.

Verse 2

Concrete kisses, promises of lime and sand

A dead grammar clutching at our hands

Climbing stairs of adjectives with no owner

Searching for heaven as a linguistic loner.

Chorus

It’s the collapse of our phonetic bond

A freefall into the dark beyond

Mixed tongues on a bed of debris

Carrying the weight of what we used to be.

Babel! Babel! Our flesh forgets the name

In this tower of spit and flickering flame.

Break

MARTYRS OF THE MISUNDERSTOOD!

Guitar Solo

Bridge

You say "eternal," I hear only "ash"

Our passion atomized in a lightning flash

Gluttony of syllables biting their own tail

Where every single name is destined to fail.

Outro

Broken tongues...

Falling walls...

Total silence.
