Babel Lyrics - Babel - Mumford & Sons

'Cause I know that time has numbered my days 

And I'll go along with everything you say 

But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now 

The walls of my town, they come crumbling down 

And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons 

And I know their choices colour all I've done 

But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son 

I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love 

'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice 

And I'll believe in grace and choice 

And I know perhaps my heart is farce 

But I'll be born without a mask

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride 

I stretched my arms into the sky 

I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now 

Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down 

You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl 

As all we see will slip into the cloud 

So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been 

You know our breath is weak and our body thin 

Photos 

Press my nose up, to the glass around your heart 

I should've known I was weaker from the start 

You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part 

To tear, tear them down 

Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down 

'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice 

And I'll believe in grace and choice 

And I know perhaps my heart is farce 

But I'll be born without a mask
