Tower of Babel

The Tower of Babel (Hebrew: מִגְדַּל בָּבֶל‎‎, Migdal Bavel) narrative in Genesis 11:1–9 is an origin myth meant to explain why the world's peoples speak different languages.According to the story, a united human race in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar (שִׁנְעָר‎). There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.

Throw me away, shrouded in endless gray
Underneath the docks, spattered upon the rocks
Your light, it dances no more
Your radiance dies, abhorred
The willow that stalks as you weep
The creature, which hunts while you sleep
You wish to escape but all shall be scathed
Within the skull lies your own grave
They watch you sin and analyze your deeds
You pig, you whore
We'll feast upon your screams
So let the retribution begin, pay back the trepidation within
In vengeance we thrive, our melancholic hive
With our eyes scorching your skin
Risen from the black depths, bringers of your mind's death
Ripping at my own flesh to conjure up your personal death
Risen from the cold depths, takers of your last breath
Rest your head in defeat; forevermore you're soulless meat
Rise, deity of reprisal
Rise, my glorious idol
Ruin those who broke me, rain down punishment
Rising from the black depths as you draw your penultimate breath
Disfigure my flesh to summon your well-deserved death
Underneath the docks, spattered upon the rocks
Your son, he smiles no more
But your crimes won't go ignored
The willow still watches you weep
The creature preys on you in sleep
You'll never escape from this torment that drapes itself over your face
Now choke on my
Agony
