[Epic Intro: rising strings, sandstorm wind, distant chant] [Verse 1] Tower reaching for the sky Babel's children building high Languages like rivers flow Teaching us what we must know [Grand Pre-Chorus] Mesopotamian dreams Cuneiform and sacred schemes Writing down what prophets saw Civilization's first law [Majestic Chorus] Babylon rising from the sand Mighty cities, mighty plans Babylon rising, taking stand Power flowing through our hands We are builders, we are kings We are bound to greater things Babylon rising, Babylon rising Hear how history sings [Verse 2] Ziggurats that touch the stars Priests and merchants, peace and wars Every brick a human prayer Lifting burdens that we bear [Chorus] Babylon rising from the sand Mighty cities, mighty plans Babylon rising, taking stand Power flowing through our hands We are builders, we are kings We are bound to greater things Babylon rising, Babylon rising Hear how history sings [Orchestral Bridge: oud solo, drums rising, chanting echoes of law and myth] [Final Chorus] Babylon rising from the sand Voices echo through the land Legacy in every hand Carved in time and shifting sand [Imperial Outro: horns, wind fading into silence, echoes of builders' voices]
