How did this lethal pursuit all begin ?
How long before Babel collapses again ?
Our Father speaks to us but we won't understand
In our garden of dust we plant the seeds of rage

More and more we need, we cultivate our greed
Earth mother can no longer quench
We make our brothers bleed and make our sisters bend
This race has to come to an end

Father had warned, "Don't reach for the sky"
The forbidden fruit cannot take you high

Then the snake retired, satisfied
After his victim took that fatal bite

Submission
You shall bend your knees, downward rise
Redemption
Sacrifice your greed, while it's time

A gathering of clouds, this will be the sign
Father will blind the sky so we can't see His face
No hopeful wind of change will ever dry His eyes
Who are the chosen few He will let climb the stairs ?

I'm not better than you
I won't always want you
I will not envy you
I won't get angry with you
I won't covet what's yours
And I won't eat too much
But I will have both pleasure and pain

Submission
You shall bend your knees, downward rise
Redemption
Sacrifice your greed, make it mine

God took a face from the ancient gallery
And on the eighth day, He started it all anew
When the circle is complete
From all the cakes
One single bite is all you shall take
