Haken - Messiah Complex I: Ivory Tower Lyrics

i) Ivory Tower

Shameless
Skying above
Preying on the nameless
Jury and judge
Everything they had was never enough

Spirit me away
Crawling under my skin
Spiralling through my head
Taste my own medicine
Drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within
A prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my Ivory tower

Struggle to be in the now
When life is too much to swallow
It spits me right out
But I cling on
Reaping seeds I dared to sow
For all the lives I ever stole
And now I must repel the host
Forever I’ll be

Spirited away
Crawling under my skin
Spiralling through my head
Taste my own medicine
Drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within
A prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my Ivory tower

Where I end you begin
When I fall you will stand
