NoMeansNo - The Tower lyrics

rate me

The sword of thruth 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 death

Red tombs and above us looms

The Tower

I see red

I see a tower against the sky

Beneath a red unblinking eye

Radiowaves 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 heard and here i find

All that traps that have been set

Everything i would forget, beneath

The Tower

I see red

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 – Dammed !

A red eye, A tyrant full of hate

Glares from the sky, It's captive state

If it should blink ordeviate

A thousand words would obliterate

I do not move, nor do i speak

Beneath that hard and pitiless peak

Of concrete , steel and antennae wheels

The Tower

I see red

I see a tower against the sky

Beneath a red unblinking eye
