Lyrics

Standing on the edge of a dream that should never have been dreamt, a monument to boundless human weakness. How soft, how soft the head, how frail the backbone, how small the hand that holds the gun, that lights the fuse, that sacrifices all on the altar of fear, of fear.

And there are armies, are legions: their marching into death, their heads held high as if their guns could hide [kill] the fear. Crusading 'gainst the evil that they serve with every wound their guns inflict, afraid of life, afraid of love.

And there's a tower in the West, it's showing off its powers. And there's a tower in the East, I hear them cry for hate. And there's a girl in a summer dress. And there's a girl in a summer dress. And there are towers east and west and I hear their cry for war. War, War, War, War!

And there are armies, are legions ...

And there's a tower in the West ...
