The Tower

Lyrics for The Tower

I came alive in a prehistoric time Beside a sacred shrine beside a roadside I looked around, then I broke down and cried It was my first time as a man An extra length I did not understand Forces of darkness wrestled control of the land Then women came riding Then women came riding Then women came riding Oh, they did not understand They looked at me as an ordinary man They looked at me and they saw only trouble "We look at you and we see only trouble" The goddess screams and she sees only trouble I scream, "Please let me run with you I will ride in shackles if you'll only take me away From the forces of darkness that have turned my life upside down" Oh, the state my house is in And chains, they bore me away Yes, and chains, they bore me away 'Til time passed And winters passed And winters were cold And winters were long And summers were beautiful And summers were beautiful Until I was old I was very old And I was an elder of the tribe I was an accepted elder of a female tribe For I was trusted, trusted For I was trusted, trusted Then BANG, the goddess did ascend to me through pure white light Delivered into me from her divine hands to my temple between my eyes And as the goddess poured into me in purest female energy I felt reflected in the moonlight, a sudden strange feeling of nausea A sickness creeping upon me as of a war of the genders Senses, I was appalled by all things female And I'm shaking, my male self stood up bold and rigid to battle Speaking just to weaken Speaking just to weaken Speaking just to weaken She told me of a male energy coming She told me of a tower She told me that I must destroy this tower But I was not receiving But I was not receiving I dressed and I rode I dressed and I rode ? I could not rescue the night from the male sunrise Couldn't rescue the night from the male sunrise Couldn't rescue the night from the male sunrise I couldn't rescue the night from the male sunrise Rescue the night from the male sunrise Rescue the night from the male sunrise I couldn't rescue the night from the male sunrise I couldn't rescue the night from the male sunrise
