Tower Song - Martha Wainwright

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
