A world of destruction is all that we see But can it be turned into green When hatred surrounds us in powerful ways Do we have the power to be The change that is needed when power's depleted Can we change and turn it around To put out the fires, remove all the liars A better world can be found So we reach for the light Tear down the towers of Babylon Then we fall to the ground Tear down the towers Now time is a factor and lives are at stake I know you are tempted to run But we can't keep hiding from this anymore 'Cause we are all under the gun A world that is ending and powers ascending Rejecting what we've once been told To reach any higher we must build this pyre And burn down those structures of old So we reach for the light Tear down the towers of Babylon Then we fall to the ground Tear down the towers The power to wreck and the power to build When there's a way, there must be a will So we reach for the light Tear down the towers of Babylon Then we fall to the ground Tear down the towers No more bowing to power Tear down the towers of Babylon The doomsday clock strikes the hour Tear down the towers
