Demon - Ivory Towers lyrics

rate me

I remember yesterday

The circus came to town

The gentle giant's toppen the bill

Supporting were the clowns

I remember Africa

Where millions all roamed free

And little kids drew pictures

Only innocence could see

Oh how we've grown since those

Crazy childhood days

All the mountains that were climbed

And the journeys that were made

Tell me did we change the world?

Will we still live in our ivory towers

While they're staring down the barrel of a gun

Will we still build all those ivory towers

And make believe that we did the things we should have done

Do you remember 68, a time of love and peace?

A generation born in hope

All those promises to keep

I saw you standing on the streets last night

You looked so all alone

Are you still searching for that peace of mind?

Will they find their way back home?

Oh how we've grown since those

Crazy childhood days

All the mountains that were climbed

And the journeys that were made

Tell me did we change the world?

Will we still live in our ivory towers

While they're staring down the barrel of a gun

Will we still build all those ivory towers

And make believe that we did the things we should have done

Were the tears we shared in vain?

There's a millionreasons to ask

What it's all about

Hear the echoes of the past ring out

There's another way

And though the times are changing now

The spirit of our youth still lives

In the heart of the few

Though the sings remind us of a fading memory

But there's no way back

Will we still live in our ivory towers

While they're staring down the barrel of a gun

Will we still build all those ivory towers

And make believe that we did the things we should have done
