The Anatomy of Time (Babel)

Certain was the fear trembling in your father's chest
 Encountering the ancients in a graveyard for those who never rest
 Even the wind lay still as time
 Revealed the fools we are
 Quiet monoliths appear, suspended in the air
 Solemn in their countenance, impervious to fear
 Marveling at the symmetry that binds and brings us here
 Separating threads of space, distinctions disappear
 Take all of your answers, throw them in the flames
 I'll keep the questions, I'll take the rain
 Defend all your doctrines, those lies you had sworn
 I'll wander through the night, I'll sleep in the storm
 I'll follow you to the end
 I'll weather the world, I'll sleep in the storm
 I'll follow you to the end
 Where time has no beginning
 ♪
 I pulled the past apart, future's unraveled with its plans
 To my chagrin, the answers felt hollow in my hands
 Adorned with memories that form the tapestry of life
 Collective accounts of consciousness from virtue to vice
 "Where are you now?" My voice echoed in that canyon
 I turned to find you lynched, choking with abandon
 The scope of time, at first profuse, now twisted to the shape of a noose
 We wanted to see forever, but instead we saw the truth
 Species of the nightmare, people of the dream
 Language is your prison, but also the key
 Confront the heart of fear
 Behold the shape of destiny
 Spinning in circles, waltz with the sun
 There's no time, many turn to one
 Take all of your answers, throw them in the flames
 I'll keep the questions, I'll take the rain
 Defend all your doctrines, those lies you had sworn
 I'll wander through the night, I'll sleep in the storm
 I'll follow you to the end
 I'll weather the world, I'll sleep in the storm
 I'll follow you to the end
 Where time has no beginning
 Blinded by the shadow of what we've seen
 Empty in our depths of understanding
 Burdened with the weight of paradox
 I fear we have been sentenced to be free
