The Tower (XVI)
Verse I
You build your walls
Underneath your narrow bones
You build your walls until
no lives matter but your own
Those walls soar
higher and higher until
My life is cheap
Chorus
Your walls become the tower
As high as
your grand design
betrays you
So safe (so high)
in the blue and white (until)
The flames (the fires rise)
burn away
Your perfect world
Verse II
You build your walls
beyond all reason
Trapped within your walls
with the demons
that possess you
Those precious walls soar
You scan below and see
no human life
Chorus
Your walls become the tower
As high as
your grand design
betrays you
So safe (so high)
in the blue and white (until)
The flames (the fires rise)
burn away
Your perfect world
Verse III
As quick as the lightening
flash opens their eyes
Let the weak and afflicted
pull down the sky
Winds of change
Unify
sets the world’s suicide
To resist, to be heard
only leads to
self-destruction
self-destruction
Let the weak and afflicted
pull down the sky
with the strength and the force
of what
despair turns into
My
way is anger
My
way is danger
My
way is anger
My
way is danger
My
Self-destruct
Self-destruct
Self-destruct
Self-destruction
Give me some more
Self-destruction
Self-destruction
Self-destruction
Swallow the terror
Our broken faults
Scorch the earth
