lyrics

The Tower-

the sun has fallen
shards of light dying from sight
shadows come calling
under the shroud of night
ages drift like snowflakes
and melt quicker each time
youth, the price that time takes
it's memory sublime

my hands, twin maps of pain
the blame all mine to bear
alone in the wind and the rain
with no one left to care

count down the days
dreaming of the ways
that i might be free
gazing to the skies
through old tired eyes
tower release me

onward and up i go
one jagged rock each time
the lash strikes one more blow
enslaved, yet i climb

time blurs away reason
behind this curse of mine
this tower, this prison
oh lord, give me a sign
praise be to mercy
heaven still too high
all crumbles around me
washed away in the sky
