NoMeansNo

The Tower

NoMeansNo


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
