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
