The Tower Lyrics
Tower cold, Tower cold
Oh the tales that you have told
I don't pretend to feel no fear
For I know too well what happens here
Tower cold, Tower cold
I know a tale that you have told
I am haunted, I am bound
I feel her presence all around
I pray to God in this dark hour
And my fate is it in this tower?
Tower cold, Tower cold
I know a tale that you have told
I see her name etched in the brick
My mother Anne Boleyn
I won't end here, I won't end here
