Mumford & Sons - Babel

[00:11.84] 'Cause I know that time has numbered my days [00:14.32] And I'll go along with everything you say [00:18.97] [00:23.02] But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now [00:25.88] The walls of my town, they come crumbling down [00:30.46] [00:34.48] And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons [00:37.64] And I know their choices colour all I've done [00:42.83] [00:46.36] But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son [00:49.15] I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love [00:53.84] [00:58.14] 'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice [01:01.60] And I'll believe in grace and choice [01:08.06] And I know perhaps my heart is farce [01:11.41] But I'll be born without a mask [01:16.35] [01:23.47] Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride [01:26.33] I stretched my arms into the sky [01:31.09] [01:34.98] I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now [01:37.91] Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down [01:42.90] [01:46.64] You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl [01:49.42] As all we see will slip into the cloud [01:53.10] [01:58.31] So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been [02:01.26] You know our breath is weak and our body thin [02:06.12] [02:10.06] Press my nose up, to the glass around your heart [02:17.45] I should've known I was weaker from the start [02:23.71] You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part [02:29.87] To tear, tear them down [02:35.02] Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down [02:41.30] 'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice [02:44.13] And I'll believe in grace and choice [02:50.22] And I know perhaps my heart is farce [02:53.07] But I'll be born without a mask [02:56.77]
