Lyrics
The Gray Tower
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.
It's not just evil that stalks the american sky
But there's something that's stalking the sky oh
It's not just bad luck
It's just what can happen
I think there's a lot of good in this town
I think a lot of it's unredeemed
I think pretending that it's not around
Will bring the shadowy talons down
It's been waitin for us it's whole life
For us to forget that look in it's eye
It's been waiting for us it's whole life
For us to forget it's name
I think forgetting it's name and the sound
Will bring the shadowy talons down
Out of an alien silence when we're all looking down
We'll feel the stopping heartbeat of this town
It can bring greater circling hunters down 2x
If you see it as fear
See it dead as fear
With it's wings nailed to our city gate
Banner that spells the whole name
From a city that knows what goes on
It's been waiting...
