The Tower - Lyrics by Nomeansno


Lyrics
the sword of truth is just another weaponlet me live for just one more secondi see a woman,  she's holding flowersa bouquet of roses that are blood redfrom a burning building, a man leaps to his deathi stand above these mansions of the deadred tombs and above us loomsthe toweri see redi see a tower against the skybeneath a red unblinking eyeradiowaves curve and crossi stand below them - lost!above me is a black obeliskand the dangers that i riskhere gather the ghosts of the mindthat tear my heart and here i findall the traps that have been seteverything i would forget, beneaththe toweri see redi see a tower against the skybeneath a red unblinking eyeviolence is close at handyou are damned if you doand if you don't - damned!a red eye, tyrant full of hateglares from the sky, it's captive stateif it should blink or deviatea thousand worlds would obliteratei do not move, nor do i speakbeneath that hard and pitiless peakof concrete, steel and antennae wheelsthe toweri see redi see a tower against the skybeneath a red unblinking eye
