ok first the story of bable in the old test is 5th gen version of an older story, in the 1st gen story they wanted to build a tower(probably symbolic) so that they could talk to the gods. im not going to tell the story but here goes parts that relate to the song.
"Come let us make bricks and burn them hard
We'll build a city with a tower for the world
And climb so we can reach anything we may propose
Anything at all"
sumerian version tells of a god of the gods or a king of the gods that lived in the heavens and then his chiefs that lived on earth that we worshiped as gods in that version of the story the people were pissed about being used as slaves so they were build a way to reach the king of the gods to report the lesser gods for breaking the rules so to speak.
"I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, that if you got caught we'd all go away
Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out and play
You had your revenge"
this is really easy to understand if you read it thinking there were gods but not divine gods just higher forms of intellect keeping us out of the loop
first part is meaning if we found out the gods were not gods then we wouldnt obey the priests and find salvation.
the part about revenge is basicly the fall of the tribes that came together and the birth of empires the instead of keep the records of the people they conquered they erased them also the constant tribulation of the semetic people.
"Well, madness reigned, the paradise drowned
When Babel's walls came crashing down
Now the echoes roar for story read that was hardly understood
And never any good"
Bable was atlantis. and the loss of humanity as we knew it. there are atleast 4 version of the story before the one in the bible
