The sword of truth is just another weapon Let me live for just 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 dead 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 heart and here I find All the 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 - damned! A red eye, tyrant full of hate Glares from the sky, it's captive state If it should blink or deviate A thousand worlds 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
