lyrics

The plains of Shinar were captivating
And good for taking
And take them you did

The hearts of men were ripe for believing
And in your grieving
Belief was spread

The precepts of Man had one beginning
One imprinting
In that land

The gods of old had one author
But one mother
Hand in hand

Ancient dreams in modern themes
No more thoughts and no more theories

The fallen of the council in contention
Had one vision
Deceiving Man

The proof of deity seen in construction
By divine instruction
A master plan

Ancient dreams in modern themes
My heart pleads for no more theories
