The Tower Songtext
von Aeons Abyss

Cells on its circumference
Set around a circle
Accidental history
Divorced from the world
The central iron lattice
Open on scrutiny
Brooks no privacy
Encased in quelling stone

Caste of shadow′s bars
Over pallid flesh

Dissects tormented souls
Prisoners displayed
Degraded and exposed
Reflecting my despair
Surveillance unrelenting
Through occulting shutters
Dread central Watchtower's
Obscure omnipresence


Preys on the deranged
Anxious I should break

Reckless zeal
Bludgeoning rectitude
Betrays in the wretched
My proclivity′s tremor

Life is joyless striving after joy
Only salved with unrelenting scorn

Ruthless shame
False instinct to conform
Incites murderous intolerance
Vacant is the tower

Beneath all reason lies deceit
Truth is but the prevailing lie


Authority stands aloof
Its never revealing face
We chastise ourselves
Thought subjugated
Coerced emotions
Simultaneously
Inmate and jailer
Fitted for purpose
Rehabilitated
Released into captivity
