Ivory Tower

Blinded

Ivory Tower


Envy, greed and hate 
Have left scars on me 
Scars as deep as canyons 
Now I stand here 
Face to face with my fate 

I absorbed the world around me 
Compassion I've never known 
I have paid the price 
And I've lost my mind 
Nowhere to go 

It all comes back into my mind 
The power and respect 
So close at hand 
I feel they're watching me 
Both of them belonged to me 
I was blinded 
Like roses need the rain 
Possessed me. Led enchanted me 
I was blinded 
So tasteful, so sweet 
I gave myself up to a force 
Tormented by remorse 

On the run from shadows of the past 
I regret all of what I said 
I think I'm changing 

The way I feel the way I think 
No time to waste 
It's time to part with the evil 
If I had the chance to turn back 
I would put right all I can 
Learn to follow principles of life 
Love is part os this advice 
Oh, I try 

If I had the chance to turn back 
I would put right all I can 
Learn to follow principles of life 
Love is part os this advice 
It's time to regret, it's time to respect 
It's time to feel sympathy 
With those who are victimized 

Yes, I was blinded
