Tower Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We had visions in the night
I was scared and you held me tight
It was like we were in black and white
As clear as day, as dark as night
And the truth became a lie
There was no longer peace of mind
Just fear of the unknown and the unkind
And then when he undressed me
And took my body
I was resolute to being fine
Now the soldiers are all on fire
And our hearts are dead from desire
And when you say it has nothing to do
Nothing to do with you, you're a liar
Now the sky is filled with dust
Of those we loved and those we lost
Rebuild the tower
Make it last longer
Make it stronger
Give up your power
