Bruce Dickinson - The Tower Lyrics






There are twelve commandments
There are twelve divisions
Twelve are the pagans who have mapped the sky

In the outer circle
To the inner sanctum
From the octave at the end of time

The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

And the hanged man smiles

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

Let the fool decide
In the atom circle
Where we break the stars
Hammer into anvil, stuffing out the sun

Witness all the killing
See the birth of Mars
Our religion thrown into the fire

The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

The hanged man smiles

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

The magician laughs

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

And the priestess kneels

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

Let the fool decide

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

And the hanged man smiles

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

Let the fool decide

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

The priestess kneels to receive

Lovers in the tower

The moon and sun divided

The magician laughs

Bruce Dickinson The Tower Comments
  1. A.... M....

    That bass intro sounds like Wratchild!! Awesome song!

  2. C.... H....

    Maidenesque LOVELY song ... Up The Bruce Up The Irons

  3. p.... f....

    some asshole stole that prop at 1:24 I don't think it was ever recovered

  4. D.... W....

    Huh, had no idea that this song even existed until tonight 11/29/19 and I've listened to Iron Maiden since the early 80's and hell this song has been out there for 21 years.

  5. 2.... ....

    I envisioned something epic from this song, from the lyrics. Too bad he couldn't have made a mini movie with some crazy medieval battling and sorcery type content. The video is so corny, he almost looks annoyed, lol.

  6. D.... D....

    How can one ever argue that anyone in metal is better than this magical man

  7. K.... D....

    This is one of the weirdest music videos I probably have ever seen as well as Iron Maiden's Holy Smoke video. But I love Bruce and Adrian as well as this song.

  8. W.... O....

    The chemical wedding is easily one of the most important metal albums of the 90s and possibly ever. Long live Bruce.

  9. s.... g....

    Best singer. That's all

  10. B.... G....

    i think Maiden should perform this song live ...its better than loads of their stuff

  11. R.... M....

    Chemical wedding is a masterpiece and Adrian Smith is a brilliant musician

  12. M.... S....

    Adrian fucking killed it on this album, the guys a freaking genius

  13. A.... ....

    Quem em 2019?

  14. G.... T....

    I thought for a second it was Wrathchild at the beginning

  15. m.... 1....

    Muy buenas canciones las del señor bruce dickinson la verdad un grande...

  16. J.... S....

    The greatest singer ever!

  17. D.... T....

    Fanta Metal....funky rhythm!?

  18. P.... ....

    BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR 19 YEARS!!!

  19. a.... i....

    Super cheesy video but amazing voice Bruce is on fire like usual. Love Adrian's solo in this

  20. n.... ....

    Bruce Dickinson sitting down with one raised hand has more showmanship than I could ever have in this lifetime.

  21. D.... S....

    Opetttt,to ne toleriram,kombi i to subota,pizde nijedne,tamo se opet onaj par svađa,ovaj put će ga ona ko vola namlatiti,misliš da neće?e da bar

    Bruce for president! Make world great again\M/

  25. F.... S....

    👊👊👊👊👊👊

  26. D.... N....

    Is this song about losing the love of your life?

    D.... N....

    Sort of. Keep in mind the song features tarot cards as symbolism. From an interview circa 1998-"Lovers, the tower, sun, the moon, the priestess, the magician, the fool, the hanged man...Going through the lyrics there may be a few more. The song is about fate. I was trying to think about Romeo and Juliet as the lovers and the sun and the moon and everything... You know, the star-crossed lovers, doomed by fate. No matter what happens, how in love they are, it's gonna end up as a tragedy. So that's was "The tower". In fact, that what the tower symbolises, is that somebody who was falling out of the tower has been struck by lightning. The tower symbolises that you can never look safe and secure and solid. It means something is gonna happen but you don't know what."

  27. s.... r....

    born to a scene of angry.... ooops wrong lyrics, i meant lovers in the tower!!

  28. D.... N....

    Rapunzel shagged in the tower!

  43. D.... W....

    I miss Bruce Dickinson solo band.

  44. D.... W....

    Chemical Wedding is the best Bruce's solo album to me. But I love all of them. Blaze Bayley solo albums are also very good! And the same by Paul Di Anno's solo stuffs as well.

  45. E.... a....

    Que pena desperdicio,con lo que eras bruce,te has convertido en todo lo que un heavy era,que pena

  46. P.... O....

    Супер.

  50. V.... N....

    Não posso acreditar que o boneco conseguiu cantar igual ao Bruce Dickinson. Kkkkk.

    V.... N....

    Conseguiu, cara

  51. Y.... L....

    Regardles of what the outcome of his solo carreer was, I believe Bruce Dickinson is one of the most professional singers in heavy metal. Everything he does he does it right or he doesn't do it. What he did on his solo career I believe was both good and bad but he did it right. Leaving Iron Maiden on good terms was a wise move because he left the doors open for a come back wich I'm really glad happenned. Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson and every member of the band makes one of the most professional bands on the planet today and It would not be that way withouth Steve Harris or Bruce Dickinson. Right now they have one of the best singers in heavy metal and the only singer and commercial pilot in a band. Iron Maiden is the best band in the world.

  52. A.... S....

    Kupujte u taweru al pazite da ne najebete Sretna nova

  53. g.... k....

    one of the best metal song ever

  54. G.... ....

    There are twelve divisions - dimensions

    The pilgrim is searching for blood, to look for his own free will - blood rituals and sacrifice to feed the beast and its needs

    Humanity in a straitjacket trying to break free in front of a black cube - Quantum computers giving birth to the real A.I. which will enslave and control humanity

  55. T.... O....

    Wrathchil.....I mean...The Tower

  56. S.... K....

    Ajmeee i ovi su nešto zaboravili zar ne ?ma dobro vratiti ću im.znaš mene -čist račun duga ljubav -financijski.A ljubav je sasvim prirodna stvar

  57. s.... ....

    LOVE that bass line. So tight! This is just awesome.

  58. m.... a....

    Harry Potter was alredy there in 1998?

  59. J.... L....

    Bruce completely ripped off the melody for this chorus from the Sister Sledge hit 'He's The Greatest Dancer'... That line 'Lovers In The Tower' is identical to it... Not to mention the bass intro is directly lifted from Maiden's 'Wrathchild'... Perhaps he was trying to create a bastard love child of the 2 songs?

  60. J.... T....

    It's a Pit do Not have Mr. Z participating in the Vídeo Clip.

    J.... T....

    By the time this was filmed he'd left to go work with Halford.

  61. H.... d....

    😎😎

  62. J.... ....

    Is it humanly possible to dislike that man?

    J.... ....

    NOOO!!:)

  63. D.... d....

    So good. Would really have worked as an Iron Maiden song.

  64. R.... ....

    starts off with wrathchild tune lol

  65. a.... ....

    The combination of the double solo and bass line after 3:19 messes me up. Probably one of the best parts of all songs ever! Massive headbanging! :)

  66. J.... L....

  82. j.... ....

    3rd BEST metal album of all  time!!!!  1. Operation Mindcrime  2. Scenes From a Memory 4. City of Evil 5. Master of Puppets 6. Screaming For Vengence 7.  Dream Evil 8. Moving Pictures 9. The Number of the Beast 10. Sabotage  BTW Accident at Birth #12Dickinson SOLO era is the ONLY concert that I would pay to see....Full of regret to miss this show!

  83. V.... S....

    For that Guy is the best rock singer in the world!!

  84. h.... t....

    Is he an occultist?I mean i read the lyrics from his albums (exept "Tatood Milionaire") and most of them are about Crowley, tarot cards, ancient egyptian gods, occult ceremonies, posession by demons or the devil himself etc...And then the movie about A.Crowley...Don't understand me false I don't think he is a devil worshipper, but this is strange...

    h.... t....

    +himbux terrafux He's just generally fascinated by the subject matter; and he finds the horror angle to it all entertaining. I doubt he really believes in any of it.

  85. J.... C....

    Killer promo from Chemical Wedding and great song. You'd think it was from Accident of Birth with the appearance of the Fool from the cd cover!

  86. D.... M....

    Adrian is The Great guitarist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_____________________________________________________________________________

    D.... M....

    +FeratPlazma It's not Adrian, it's the mexican Roy Z.

    D.... M....

    @Carl Rzd This is it, the album that Iron Maiden never made. Accident Of Birth is the great (quasi) solo work by Bruce Dickinson with assistance from his friend and former band member of Iron Maiden Adrian Smith. Together with Roy Z (guitarist & producer) & further notable musicians these two legends of metal recorded their by far best album of the 1990ies.

    D.... M....

    @Carl Rzd 1997-1999  Adrian member of band !!! and help make 2 albums !!

    D.... M....

    +FeratPlazma It's Adrian and Roy Z. Roy Z seems to be the lead guitarist for most of Bruce's Solo work so it's hard to say it's Solely Adrian's guitar work.

    D.... M....

    @Carlos Rodríguez 3:01 hello.... It's Adrian Smith......

  87. G.... ....

    From the album "Chemical wedding"

  88. D.... F....

    What album is this song from?

    D.... F....

    @David Fellner The chemical wedding

    D.... F....

    +David Fellner
    One of the most under rated metal albums of all time, but actually it's musical alchemy that stands the test of time.

    D.... F....

    North Eagle Media I agree I listen The Chemical Wedding and Accident of Birth frequently.

    D.... F....

    Yep. Masterpieces all around

    D.... F....

    David Fellner Agreed anything Bruce does music wise is gold. \m/

  89. r.... b....

    Wrathchild :)

  90. T.... ....

    How is this song not more popular!? It always has been my favorite Bruce song (including his Maiden stuff).

    T.... ....

    TheShadowBrigade Better in that way, bro. Lights always brings shit.

    T.... ....

    Bruce killed it solo, he absolutely shit on everyone with quality output and destroyed the 2 Blaze albums

  91. g.... ....

    *NEVER QUESTION BRUCE DICKINSON!*

  92. E.... s....

    una de las mejores canciones que existen

    E.... s....

    dickinson junto a smith y roy z notables composicion y música

  93. d.... ....

    Killer song from a Master Epic album... Long live to Bruce Dickinson

  94. S.... W....

    1:24 accident of birth easter eggs?

  95. S.... C....

    The song starts: Wrathchild!
    Ah no, my error ;)

    S.... C....

    Indeed it reminded me also of Wratchild... no prob at all. I´m still waiting for someone who takes Another One Bites The Dust. Bass intros are rare :D

  96. V.... ....

    Such a great song! \M/

  97. i.... ....

    Bruce Dickinson rules!

  98. r.... ....

    Awesome music 5 stars
