The tower

Chris & Carla


I got a message from the king 
A column of smoke center on the screen 
Out came face that I recognized 
And no disguise would have changed a thing 

And the sun never shines 
No the sun will never shine 
No, the sun will never shine 
Where I am going 

I had to fight just to say a word 
Had to bite my tongue so that I'd be heard 
The blood went down 
From my chin to my neck 
Just as the king finished his dessert 

And the sun never shines 
No the sun will never shine 
No, the sun will never shine 
Where I am going 

Crop of salted heads, sprouted on the gate 
I pictured mine on his dinner plate 
To stuff my mouth would be at last, revenge 
He devours my silence like so many grapes 

And the sun never shines 
No the sun will never shine 
No, the sun will never shine 
Where I am going
