The Tower

Lyrics for The Tower

The sword of thruth is just another weapon Let me live for one more second I see a woman she's holding flowers A bouquet of roses that are blood red From a burning building, a man leaps to his death I stand above these mansions of the death Red tombs and above us looms The Tower I see red I see a tower against the sky Beneath a red unblinking eye Radiowaves curve and cross I stand below them – Lost! Above me is a black obelisk And the dangers that i risk Here gather the ghosts of the mind That tear my heard and here i find All that traps that have been set Everything i would forget, beneath The Tower I see red I see a tower against the sky Beneath a red unblinking eye Violence is close at hand You are damned if you do And if you don't – Dammed! A red eye, A tyrant full of hate Glares from the sky, It's captive state If it should blink ordeviate A thousand words would obliterate I do not move, nor do i speak Beneath that hard and pitiless peak Of concrete, steel and antennae wheels The Tower I see red I see a tower against the sky Beneath a red unblinking eye
