Tongues Of Shinar
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
In the valley where the rivers sleep
We stacked our prayers in bricks and dreams
Climbed the hush between stars and steam
To write our names in skybound seams
Our breath became one burning sound
Each stone a wish, each rung unbound
But heights can hum a jealous hymn
And silence speaks where light grows dim
We built to be remembered, not to see
The cost of one great unity
And all at once the words went wild
Tongues turned to rivers running blind
We sang and no one understood
Like thunder lost in driftwood blood
Our tower cracked beneath the sun—
But oh, the beauty in the undone
We scattered like a rain of seeds
Carried by winds we’d never meet
Language split like mirrored glass
Reflecting all we could surpass
Some call it curse, some call it grace
To speak alone in sacred space
But every tongue still holds the trace
Of Babel’s ash in every phrase
The voice of many makes the flame
The broken word still calls a name
Not ruin, but a world re-spun
Not ending—just the chords begun
And all at once, the tongues were torn
Yet from that storm, new songs were born
We danced in dialects unknown
Still carving meaning out of stone
The tower fell, but not in vain—
We found the stars inside the rain
The sky was never meant to cage
The voice was always meant to change
Scatterlight on every shore—
Still building something evermore
