Ziggurat - Peter Adams

Sleep in the cold my dear sons

And work in the hellish days

One of these years I will be gone

But the tower will live forever

Ziggurat, ziggurat, ziggurat all mine

Say with love how your life is a worthless dream

Bow your heads, little sons, and submit to me With feet in the air I swallow wine

And let myself unwind

I pass the hours in a foggy dream

My life’s a mighty river

Ziggurat, ziggurat, ziggurat all mine

Say with love how your life is a worthless dream

Bow your heads, little sons, and submit to me Pull the ropes and push the stones

Hear the crack of breaking bones

How I love the sound

I command to not defy

I control the endless sky

And the flame inside the sun

Ziggurat
