The Love Of Lyrics

[Chorus]
If towers fall, if nothing stands
I’ll build again the world by my baby’s hands
At the end of all, there’s all they claim and then

[Verse 1]
I saw the news again
To hear that the world’s to end in flames
I’d not complain, I’ve seen the love of my baby
Be on the take, or talkin’ of slaughter over cake
Would kneel and break
Speak of the love of my baby

[Chorus]
If towers fall, if nothing stands
I’ll build again the world by my baby’s hands
At the end of all, there’s all they claim and then

[Verse 2]
The angels can know their place
Let heaven hidе its face in sheer disgrace
Oh, look upon the lovе of my baby
Those who wield the chain
Are pushing the wheels of fear and shame
Forget their name
Hear of the love, the love, the love
[Chorus]
If towers fall, if nothings stands
I’d build again the world by my baby’s hands
The unamable, the unmade again
And then

[Bridge]
So hurry up and start
Can’t wait for the world to fall apart
‘Cus here unmarked
Would still be the love, the love, the love
