_ Gather round me children [Dm] for the tale of a man
[C] Who thought he'd make his name through [E] an impervious plan
[Am] He'd build the tallest tower [Dm] and he would ascend
[C] Mount [B] Nunavut to sight [E] throughout the land
His power was perfected [Am] in this temple he erected
No [D] forever insurrection could [F] be crushed beneath [E] his hand

[C] This riddle so he could not [Am] comprehend _
[Dm] Babylon and on in [F] his [C] Babylon
_ [G] Varieties [E] undone with [A] wonder for everyone

_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
But [Am] the cedars for [C] your coffins [D] are [Dm] already hewn
[C] You're running out of heat inside [E] your hot air balloons
[Am] The chubby lady's ready and [Dm] she's dying to croon
[C] A tomb to [B] usher in the [E] days of doom
[Abm] Well lately we ain't finding [Am] any honey in the lime
Men [D] are lying with lilac [F] and their fire [E] is subdued
[Am] Apologies for spreading [Dm] woe and gloom
[C] But read the sign this tower is [Am] your tomb

_ [Am] To spear the mighty Tanen, [Dm] cast him into the sea
A [C] shield for those [E] who've never been [Am] in need _ _
For now we [Dm] Babylon and on [C] in our Babylon
