The Tower

The sword of truth 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 dead

Red tombs, and above us looms

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

I see red

I see red

I see red

I see...

I see a tower against the sky

Beneath a red unblinking eye

Radio waves 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, the tower

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

I see red

I see red

I see red

I see...

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-eyed tyrant full of hate

Glares from the sky in its 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 antenna wheels

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

The tower, the tower

I see red

I see red

I see red

I see...

I see a tower against the sky

Beneath a red unblinking eye
