Babylon's Hanging Gardens

In mighty Babylon with its hanging gardens
We learned the meaning of science

Knowledge coupled with will
Modern wonders of engineering
Humanity on the verge of reaching adulthood

What happened?
All we built is now forgotten and lost
Arcane knowledge remains elusive
Those guarding its secrets
Have long perished
Or refuse to share their wisdom

Answers are out of reach
For the questions are wrong
We are looking at the outside
But the essence has always been inside
Dig, my friend, and you will find
