The Tower

There is a day that holds you back
A night that will never let you go
(Never let you go)
There is a promise that connects the world
Of which, locks the time in place
(Locks the time in place)
I call for you within my sleep
But do not hear your voice
The water that parts our meeting grows (grows)
I look at time to see the change
But still the lock is there
No key to free me from this nightmare
No officer to set me free
(No key to free me from this nightmare)

I want to be free
I want to be alive
I want to be free from this nightmare

I look at the sky and know
I have no power or will
For the hand of god has let me down
There is a way to escape this hell
But to escape could also be to die
But what is life If the tower which holds you
Is a death within itself
And what if life
Has no meaning left
No sense of feeling
Or need

But as darkness falls for the last time
The boat for freedom arrives
Though feeling the wind on a lonely face
It's hard for me to take
To swallow
(It's hard for me to swallow)
Return me to the tower of life
For life for me is now complete it's over

Darkness can now turn to light
And freedom has been granted
But alone on this island for me
As this is where life started
And now the life I know is over
It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over
