A Tower Struck Down Songtext

von Steve Hackett

Struck down by a vision of beauty
Said I was struck down by a long legged archer
Oh, the city was hot but my blood ran cold
Oh, the city went dark, keep calm and carry on
I was a young man, only 19 years old
Said I was a young man so very far away from home
She got me, struck down
Right through the heart, struck down
She shot me, struck down
Right through the heart, struck down
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
I want to be an old man, damn you, Von Braun
I want to be an old man, damn you, Von Braun
Oh, I've been laid low by a blinding light
Oh, I've been torn asunder by the banshee's wail
She got me, struck down
Right through the heart, struck down
She shot me, struck down
Right through the heart, struck down
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
I was a young man, only 19 years old
I was a very young man so far away from home
I was imprisoned by a vision of beauty
I was struck down by the long legged archer
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
Keep calm and carry on
Reefer madness quiets the falling bomb
