Awaken from the storm that washed unbelievers
Yet hasn't kept away the sinners

For it all been spoken the same
Therefore all had understood
The human ambition to raise his name
And build a tower that could...

Reach the heavens 
Rise up high
And touch the light 
Upon the sky

Test their power
Test their god
And build a tower
It's head in the sky

For all to see their strength
For the fear of being scattered

Had they enraged their god?
Had they forgot all common sense?
And so the lord came down from heaven
All charged with his splendoring wrath

Had they enraged their god
And forgot all common sense?
For the lord came down with wrath
And with swift punishment

Prevent the humans 
The heavens to reach
And deprive them
Of one, single speech
