Twisted Towers Lyrics by Gatekeeper

From Western Shores

2023

[Verse 1]
Behold absolute power, reigning from my twisted towers
As the wind howls through bastions tall
I stand upon them, over all you weaklings, as you cower

Beneath my yoke of power you shall toil
Day and night to raise these towers higher
Glory to your king above you, blood and tears are your due

An evil writhes inside my mind
Constricting walls that crush and bind
Your wives, your bairns are sworn to me, your lord highborn
I can hear the madness calling me

[Chorus]
In my mind, the lust for power cries
It's screaming out to me right through the darkness
Madness crawls ovеr castle walls
I stand upon the ramparts of my twisted towеrs tall

[Verse 2]
I lay claim to all you know, and I shall reap what you hath sewn
Cruelty has taken me within its grasp, no turning back
I'm wallowing within this keep, a spirit lost in darkness deep
Tendrils of baleful will escape my soul to breach the sill
To taint the very stones that loom above my throne

Blasted black, now the towers crack
They're shifting shape, they wind and snake
Into forms unknown, mocking flesh and bone
The crenellations are weeping crimson tears
As walls tumble down

[Bridge]
Paranoia is clawing within me
Tearing down every stone that surrounds me
They're crashing down

[Chorus]
In my mind, the lust for power cries
It's screaming out to me right through the darkness
Madness crawls over castle walls
I crumble with the ruins as the twisted towers fall

[Outro]
I see you, I hear you, crying out
For freedom, for mercy, masses shout
Defying, denying, twisted towers fall
