We were instructed above all else:
Defend the structures and the columns despite ourselves
(Defend the structures despite ourselves, no repent for the tower's end)
The pyramid stands to correct the will
To admire the ruins that lie past the hills
(No repent for the tower's end)

See it there, rise above the earth
So kneel down one last time
Cause tonight is the end
No repent for the tower's end
The advancing flags
Cause tonight this story will end

The question was posed in a binary tone
Control the gears that control
The relevance of the throne
(Control the gears that control the throne)
The river that runs the dismembered mill
Halted production so for frustration's sake they kill
(For frustration's sake they kill, no repent for the tower's end)
