Lyrics below:

'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 their 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 know my weakness, know my voice

And I'll believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce

But I'll be born without a mask

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride

I stretched my arms into the sky

I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now

Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl

As all we see will slip into the cloud

So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been

You know our breath is weak and our body thin

Press my nose up, to the glass around your heart

I should've known I was weaker from the start

You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part

To tear, tear them 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 farce

But I'll be born without a mask
