Babel by 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 that 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 (1)________ my weakness, know my voice
And I'll believe in (2)__________ and choice...

And I know perhaps my heart is fast
But I’ll be born without a mask....

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
I stretch my arms into the sky

I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
But the walls of my town
They come crumbling down...

You ask (3)__________ will we stand
In the winds that will howl
As all we see (4)________ slip into the cloud

So come down from your mountain
And (5)__________ where we’ve been
You know our breath is weak and our bodies thin

Press my (6)________ up to the glass around your heart

I should’ve known I was weaker (7)________ the start
You’ll build (8)________ walls
And I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear (9)________ 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 fast
But I’ll be born without a mask
