Ivory Tower

A Distant Light

Ivory Tower


I don't know why I have to look at the sky 
Always strive to reach that high 

I don't know why everybody tries to fly 
Do we need to be so high 

From all directions the warnings are drawning near 
Close to the bring of ruin 

It's getting dark and lost souls 
Don't know where they belong 
Or where they are 
Or where they're from 

But somewhere there's a distant light 
It's warm and nothing shines so bright 
The moment is now to realize 
No hope anymore when the light burns out 

The spring of fame everyone is searching for 
Is just a legend of a dreamer 

The sense of life 
A mystery like stars above 
Borderland of mankind's mind 

From all directions the warnings are drawning near 
Close to the bring of ruin 

It's getting dark and lost souls 
Don't know where they belong 
Or where they are 
Or where they're from 

The signs are here 
The meaning is clear 
We do wrong 
We do right 

A constant inner fight 
Look somewhere beyond, look somewhere within
