IVORY TOWER LYRICS

1. Rape Of Time

Faster than speed of light, time is cash, time is ripe
For everything we want to be, for everything we long to see
Come on, come on where do you go? Don't look back we need to grow
If you want yourself to thrive just stay twenty-five

Don't get used to the old, there's too many to be sold
No time to dwell, time to rest, we rape time at its best
This crazy highway we call life is just the biggest alibi
To overtake, to steal, to fool, to rape time

Cannot win, can't live with it, need something to handle it
Just come on, give me a hug, slip me anabolic drugs
A needle for my way to mars by doping I could reach the stars
Lame excuses show a bit, everyone is doing it

[Repeat]
(Like there was no tomorrow)

2. Expelled From Heaven

Don't you cry my friend, you cannot hide again
You live to serve my need and will
Take this open door, walk on this famous floor
Where many men have failed before

Expelled from heaven, I'm king of lost souls never rising
Expelled from heaven, I'm king of lost souls never dying

Soon as you're born you're becoming a diamond
And I am waiting to perfect this stone
Rely on proficiency I will make your world
As you want it, all needs reduced to the max

Vanity, wallow in luxury, indifference, my favorite sins
If you choose to be on the loose you'll see
Nothing but the whole of me

[Repeat]

Expelled from heaven, I'm king of lost souls
Expelled from heaven, I'm king

Hey, are you ready for the show
For all the things you gotta know
For a life of rock' n roll

3. Catatonic Sleep

Hello, hello, is there anybody out there? Hear my call
Hello, you look at me and catch nothing at all
Hello, it hurts but I've got nothing to return
Hello, I sense everything but you don't seem to

I'm just longing for the dark, I need a way to disembark
From this ship of endless nightmares

I'm dead yet awake, I'm a catatonic schizophrenic
This is worse than death, I'm a catatonic schizophrenic
Soothe your will to live, I'm a catatonic schizophrenic
Turn of the instruments, end my catatonic sleep

Hello, hello, attacks of madness constantly increase
Hello, you try to hide your pity but I see
Hello, see my eyes, they show you how I feel
Hello, I feel everything but no-one seems to

[Repeat]

4. Hands To The Sky

Long ago, you felt so isolated
Question like "where do I belong"
You've tried to take off all idols
Worse than bad, alas
There's a lack self-confidence
In the air, about to suffocate
If self-esteem would stink
You were a perfect fragrance

You've got to make it, you've got to change it
You've got to learn it.. You've got to

Raise hands to the sky see the bad times passing by
Raise hands to the sky, escape your shadow
Raise hands to the sky, make up your mind leave it all behind
Raise hands to the sky, escape your shadow

Here you are in life of mysteries
Stranding on the gates yo yourself
Sympathy you're longing for
Means dare to face the real you

Will you go and fight the watchmen of your mind
Would you do anything to fight what makes you blind

[Repeat]

5. Loss

Shades of butterflies
A touch of unsettled lies
Invincible mountains left behind

What else can we do?
How can we resume
Luck in which we almost drowned?

Could we start again?
Really start again?

I would be there, yes I really would
Turn back there for good
Come let us try to find again
What we've lost so far

A dash of jealousy
Too much love for free
Ready was the dish of rage

Truth and honesty
Should be certainty
But we really trampled on

[Repeat]

6. What If

Would a black man let you hunger?
Would a muslim even plunder?
Would all indians kill my trees?

Would polar bears make my land smaller?
Would a child mortcage my future?
Would a lake refuse my right to breathe?

If we exchanged the roles and turned the whole

What if we cared?
What if we were prepared?
Wouldn't al the pain vanish into thin air?
What if we strained. We could part from every chain?
Would a paradise be a guide of life?

Would a fish go angling mankind?
Would spider tread us down?
Would a coral bank drill for oil?

Would a whale eat you for sex drive?
Would a pig fatten you?
Would elephants and tigers cage you up?

[Repeat]

7. Wailing Wall

A careful walk on broken crystal alibis, I dodge a rage she scatter round
A face that hides any kind, any sign, any traits of weakness
Words break out from deep within showing me again the reality
Of what we have, where we stand, that we don't comprehend
Together yet alone, a wall inside our home
Together we have built it, filled it, just as we dig deep

To bury unsaid in ourselves a hiding place
To treasure up the hurt, the pain but

Let it out, let it out, free it from the underground
Break her heart, take her heart, think about a brand new start
Deify, deify, a rest of hope I can deny
Look at you, look at me ... Stop, stop

Time is running out, you reach for life without the light of self control
Time is running out, wake up my friend and feel again what's really there

Scars now visible, but who is responsible? Is it invertible?
Can we take back, suffering, pain, the wounds, the hurt?
We fall into the great oblivion, we've unlearned to carry on
We blame it on, the me, the you, the us, the we, the lust
A remaining peace of trust, somewhere in the dust
Unjustly covered by confusion that led us astray

Here at my wailing wall, I hope you hear my call,
Help us to break the surface (Repeat)
Here at my wailing wall, I hope you hear my call, stop the fall
(Let it out, let it out)
(Free it from the underground)
(Think about, think about, stop it, stop it)

8. Child Of Burden

[Instrumental]

I don't want to let you go
Don't want to feel the fear when you're not here
If only I could turn back time
I would have taught you even more

Child don't try to grow so fast
Walk slowly through your life. Evoke the pats
Willful traps are lurking everywhere
Don't blunder into there, be aware

Look at what we've left behind.
And get a sense for turning wrong things right
The burden you take on is your fate
Get rid of the hate that poisons minds

I apologize

9. We're Lost

In a world of violent hearts
Time is running fast
War for breakfast, minds are restless,
becoming what we are
Dealing with hunger, we're all sons of plunder
Feeding the needs on the poor
Climate changes rearrange
A basic thought of earth

Hal-hearted acting, vanity's attracting
But we slowly realize

We're lost in time and space, we're wandering, we can't be king
We're lost, we take all pills, we are pretenders of good will
We've lost a way out to humanity and honesty, we're lost

Ice is melting, water is pelting
Down on poor, man's land
I buy you, you by me
Digital money seems to rule the world
Declarations of war far from any law
Feed the hate among the beasts
We are sending out our poison to the clouds
While nature's crying out loud

[Repeat]

10. Moments Of Delight

Since was born into this world
I've been longing to take my place
But every chair that I reached seemed engaged
Everyone said I shouldn't be there
If life was a movie and I were the headliner
Would the audience celebrate me?
This is one question of thousands and millions
That has been torturing me

I'm digging down, down, digging down, down

Close to the abyss I fall back into habits
In a nutshell ... It breaks my fall
Didn't want to hear clever advice
Always thought mine was the best of all
Tried to prove black is white, changed the day into night
Hurt without noticing it
In the end of it all remains nothing at all
But loneliness and infinite fall

I'm digging down, down, digging down, down

But when you feel the love is there
You're overwhelmed, your hearts aware
These are the days of peaceful life
These are the moments of delight

Over the day my shadow are haunting me
Afraid of the whole world around
Hard on the surface but weakness there under
Flavored with fear to the core

[Repeat]
