Hungry Lights - Umber Tower lyrics

An umber tower is quiet and looming before me And I once used nothingness to fill that void Then the sky must thrown a gauntlet To detour me from the center I knew -And I've never been wrong The winds had changed beyond your shore Now a mattered mane that muffles the lion's roar Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue How I trembled at the knees! Underneath a mask, in the gully I hie And I sank much deeper than I had prepared for Tailing shades coalesced and converged on the walls When I turned, they were nothing! No, nothing at all O' such beguiling was their boisterous game! My own shadow... now a faceless no one Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue How I trembled at the knees! At sudden, from inside me I felt a rapid disa**emble And all around had turned to gloom Still, all around was calm And I raised my fist But there was no confrontation Just a question had they asked And with the comfort, I gave in An umber tower was quiet and looming before me So I used its gallantry to fill that void Truly, I had embraced that delusion and glory So I guess I don't know what I knew after all Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue How I trembled at the knees!
