tripod - ivory tower lyrics
i was made in darkest night
of chalky ash and children’s fright
i do not think you know what you behold
i was made of aching hurt
of fairy tales and bl–dy dirt
i hope you do exactly as you’re told
siegfried and saint george
potter, baggins, beowulf
were tempered in my forge
so i say to you and yours
all caught fire in the ivory tower
in the marble arches
in the dust and darkness
and i have you on my mind
once a mighty tree was grown
for you to know all that is known
i hope you hear exactly what i say
and by your sword a branch came down
and where the blood fell to the ground
it is my cradle and there i must stay
and should ever you return
well i must confess my story to be true
you will be burned
and i hope that you have learned:
all caught fire in the ivory tower
in the marble arches
in the dust and darkness
and all caught fire in the ivory tower
and i have you on my mind
you’re on my mind
you’re on my mind
