I Could Build You A Tower Lyrics - Singles - Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly

You just sit there in silence whilst the world cries out in vain 

On the television screens and the newspaper headlines we read today 

There's a war going on in the Middle East and the fallout 

Affects us all, but nobody out there's prepared to talk 

There's a war going on on our own front door step 

With the Jews and Islam-aphoebes 

Because every time a bomb goes off we get religious probes 

There will always be extremists acting in their names of God 

But the Gods they worship will never hear them call 

I could build you a tower, I could set you apart 

From all the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart 

I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down 

There's an 8 year old boy in Lebanon with a rifle in his hands 

His parents betray his innocence as he's old enough to be a man 

As a teenage boy in Columbine fires automatic rounds 

Into the hordes of students as bodies hit the ground 

The waters rise to enormous heights off the coast of North Korea 

With all the weapons testing our worlds investing in nuclear fear 

I'm counting down the days until this earth destroys itself 

Through our ignorance, gluttony and wealth 

I could build you a tower, I could set you apart 

From all the wars and the violence towards the pure of heart 

I could build you a tower but they'll only burn it down
