How did this lethal pursuit all begin ? How long before Babel collapses again ? Our Father speaks to us but we won't understand In our garden of dust we plant the seeds of rage More and more we need, we cultivate our greed Earth mother can no longer quench We make our brothers bleed and make our sisters bend This race has to come to an end Father had warned, "Don't reach for the sky" The forbidden fruit cannot take you high Then the snake retired, satisfied After his victim took that fatal bite Submission You shall bend your knees, downward rise Redemption Sacrifice your greed, while it's time A gathering of clouds, this will be the sign Father will blind the sky so we can't see His face No hopeful wind of change will ever dry His eyes Who are the chosen few He will let climb the stairs ? I'm not better than you I won't always want you I will not envy you I won't get angry with you I won't covet what's yours And I won't eat too much But I will have both pleasure and pain Submission You shall bend your knees, downward rise Redemption Sacrifice your greed, make it mine God took a face from the ancient gallery And on the eighth day, He started it all anew When the circle is complete From all the cakes One single bite is all you shall take
