Lyrics

In the tower above the earth
There is a view that
Reaches far
Where we see the universe
I see the fire, I see the end
Oh
Oh
Oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh
Seven miles above the earth
There is Emmanuel of mothers
With his sword, with his robe
He comes dividing man from brothers
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Woah
In the tower above the earth
We built it for Emmanuel
In the powers of the earth
We wait until he rails and rails
In the tower above the earth
We built it for Emmanuel
Oh, my mother, she betrayed us
But my father loved and bathed us
Still I go to the deepest grave
Where I go to sleep alone
Ooh
Mm
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Mm
Mm
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Mm
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Mm
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
