The Ivory Tower Songtext
von Cybernetic Witch Cult

The Ivory tower
Lies in us all
Last bastion of humanity
We can′t let it fall
Age is allergic to youth
The time to dream is so short
Sacred qualities; fading anomalies
The freedom to follow your heart

A pestilence sweeps our land
Reaching deep in our minds
Decaying imaginations
To the mundane, we resign

At least death would be something
Sit and wait for the nothing
We don't even care about whether or not we care
At least death would be something


Through the deserts of shattered hopes
No sign of a cure, and far from home
Ask the ancient one, perhaps they′ll know the way
To take the pain away

Sink into the swamps of sadness
Despair engulfs like thick molasses
Savour your last shred of hope
Almost there - don't despair

Ten thousand miles away it seems so far
Just to speak to the oracle
The journey is the only way to find
All that you left behind

Take a trip into fantasy
Before your mind starts to atrophy
Dream of dragons when down on your luck
You'll awake, ready to face your fate

You seek the southern oracle
First you must be judged
The sphinx will look into your heart
Don′t doubt your confidence


Is this the final gate
My reflection so clear
Confront my true self
But all i see is fear
