Squalloscope - Tower Lyrics

I stand on the tower's high balcony
The shrieking starling streaks by
And like a maenad i let the storm
Rumple and tear at my hair

Oh my wild comrade and crazy boy
I long to embrace you and match
My strength against yours, two steps from the edge
And wrestle with you to the death

And as i look down at the beach, the waves
Are like hunting dogs at play
Foaming and bellowing they rave
And up leaps the glistening spray

How gladly i'd jump to be among
That raging pack of hounds
And follow through the coral woods
The walrus with merry sound

Wär ich ein jäger auf freier flur
Ein stück nur von einem soldaten
Wär ich ein mann, doch mindest nur
So möge der himmel mir raten

And further i see a pennant blow
Bold as a battle banner
And the prow of the ship goes up and down
As i watch from my airy rampart

Oh i want to stand in that fighting ship
And grasp the steering wheel
And over the spitting, hissing deep
Glide as the seagull will

If i were a hunter out in the wild
If i were a bit of a soldier
If i were at least and simply a man
Then heaven would council and hold me
But now i must sit like a good little girl
Sweet, delicate and fair
And i have to hide to let the wind
Blow freely through my hair

Wär ich ein jäger auf freier flur
Ein stück nur von einem soldaten
Wär ich ein mann, doch mindest nur
So möge der himmel mir raten
