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 (1)__________ of my town, they come crumbling down

And my (2)________ hear the (3)________ of my unborn sons
And I (4)________ that choices (5)____________ 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 know my weakness, (6)________ my voice
And I'll believe in grace and choice...

And I know perhaps my heart is fast
But I’ll be born (7)______________ a mask....

Like the (8)________ that (9)________________ my (10)__________ and my pride
I (11)______________ my arms into the sky

I cry Babel! Babel! (12)________ at me now
But the (13)__________ of my town
They (14)________ (15)__________________ down...

You ask where (16)________ we stand
In the winds that will howl
As all we see will slip (17)________ the cloud

So come down from (18)________ mountain
And (19)__________ where we’ve been
You know our breath is weak and our bodies thin

Press my nose up to the glass around your heart

I should’ve known I was (20)____________ from the start
You’ll build your walls
And I will play my (21)____________ part
To tear, (22)________ (23)________ down

Well I’m gonna tear, tear them down!
'Cause I know my weakness (24)________ 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
