"Captive of the Tower" (Home Studio Demo) lyrics
In the deepness of the night
In the cool, thick misty moonlight
The willow trees, they moan and weep
And I shall never sleep
Through the cold, cold winter nights
Warmed only by my desires
And all the endless astral flights
In search of my true love's sweet fire
All this suffering, is it my reward?
They say a madman will never be free
Must I die by my own sword?
To die throughout eternity . . .
A long time ago, I was born again
In life; in love
I thought her sent from heaven
An angel from above
And it felt so good again, feeling so alive!
Until life took her away again . . .
With my love locked away . . . My renaissance died!
I gave them all my honesty
They took my trust, and never gave it back
I gave them truth, and bits of my dreams
They took my love, and stabbed me in the back!
They cut my heart out, and took her from me
They stole her away and tried to destroy me
They stole my heart, and tried to bleed me by the hour
Holding my love there, captive of the tower!
Captive of the tower . . .
Captive of the tower . . .
When your dreams are shattered,
And your faith is murdered
Your hope fades to wishing
That your life could be surrendered
Born again, to die again . . .
Born again, to die again . . .
The death of new-birth
Borne away again; hidden somewhere . . .
Oh, my heart is . . .
Captive of the tower!
Searching for the cask of love, somewhere in this tomb . . .
This tomb of still-life: The graveyard of my dreams . . .
