The Tower Lyrics
the sword of truth is just another weapon
let me live for just 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 dead
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 heart and here i find
all the 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 - damned!
a red eye, tyrant full of hate
glares from the sky, it's captive state
if it should blink or deviate
a thousand worlds 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
