Babel by The Healing Lyrics

Filter my words away
My civility
Kept in check by your witch-hunt reprisals. (Kicking and screaming)

My voice weakening
Hope kept close to me
Our cries will not go undeterred, (Hear me)

For how long?
Unable to bridge the divide
Forces break us
Mold us to meet the grand design

Intellect evading
While innocence just fades
Perversion infectious
Creeping into every aspect of our
Lifeline
Dangling above the wreck
Futures burn below
And there will be nothing
(And there will be nothing)
Left
When my words are never heard or spoken
I know there is nothing left

They can't silence, bury
Voices that carry
Asphyxiate the flame that lights the mind
Distance, hours
Can't hold us down within this
Cage no longer
I will speak from my heart this time

Oh
The sharpened wit
Cutting deep with a razor tongue
Dictate all my thoughts
While your galavanting
Masquerade
Disguised as hope for all
Targets those who will refuse you
Keeping me where I can't reach my
Life-line
Dangling above the wreck
Futures burn below
And there will be nothing
(And there will be nothing)
Kingdoms crumble away
Such hostility
Resonates through me
Worlds so far away
Passion driving
Our hands to act in fear

They can't silence, bury
Voices that carry
Asphyxiate the flame that lights the mind
Distance, hours
Can't hold us down within this
Cage no longer
I will speak from my heart this time

Can't hold us down
Can't force us to accept this fate
Speak your, speak your heart and mind
We will be heard
Our calls will echo far and wide

For how long?
Unable to bridge the divide
Forces break us
Mold us to meet the grand design
