The Tower Songtext
von māsa

Along the river
On the brightest of mornings
To the cathedral
And up to the tower

Where the bells beat time
Where the ghosts keep time
Where my soul waits, now
For the breakout

Tell me you love me
Tell me you′ll keep me
Safe from the ravaging, scavenging
Hands of the clock

Tell me a story
Of old-fashioned glory
And keep me awake
With tales of escape


Light up my mind
With poems that blind me
To numbers and hunger
Froze in time

I'll never know, never (I′m going, I'm going)
Never know, never (I'm going, I′m going)
Where the boys keep time
Never (I′m going, I'm going)

That′s where they keep time
Never know, never (I'm going, I′m going)
And where can I keep time?
Never know, never (I'm going, I′m going)

And when I am tired
When we've admired
All of these statues and plaques to
Our heroes

When you are thinking
That I am sleeping
In fact, I'll be creeping
Back to the tower

Where my soul waits, now
For the breakout, for the fire
