Don't you see that tower growing Up into the sky? A tower of immoderation Is growing much too high All that greed for more 'n' higher A burst of a natural flame A tower based on sick foundations Same old evil game Tumbling tower High-growing flower Youth on fire "This is the sickness of high civilization Economy towers and business-temples Out of the towers; out of the town Lest you take part in its fraud For her sins are heaped high as heaven" And don't you see that flower growing Within a peaceful law The beauty such a modesty Can teach us how to grow And what about our wretched being? About our ruthless life? For every artificial dirt We sold our mothers life Tumbling tower High-growing flower Youth on fire I pray the Lord my soul to keep While Babylon will fall I pray the Lord my soul to keep Can't you hear me call? Tumbling tower High-growing flower Youth on fire Feel the burning of a new generation The heat of a fiery youth A cleaning fire down from heaven Shall free the hidden truth Heaven knows we're holding on 'Cause it seems were blessed We are meant to stay alive And I swear to do my best Tumbling tower High-growing flower Youth on fire
