| Lyrics I see the picture now of the place in the woods Where the battle was won and the swords are held high To the red and bloody sky, I didn’t mean it I just was crowned too young by you all to be the king of the hill The tower’s gloom staring down at me know I try to escape from it’s shadow, I try to break its black cloud But I just break down, now fall down down on my knees Beg of you, dear Lord, your forgiveness please Red and bloody sky, to you all I cry, I didn’t mean it My choice is simply this; to rise or fall Composition © 1991 Ric Albano |
Song Info Produced & Engineered by Ric Albano Composed on September 27, 1991 Recorded September-October 1991 at Rathole Studios, Hazleton, PA Mixed in 2003 & Mastered in 2011 at Cygnus Wave Studios Performers Listener Guide Analysis: A snappy, bass-driven song with almost a blues pattern were it not for the injection of the descending riff at the end of the first bar. This song marks a return to the electric guitar with some nice sonic tapestries and an interesting lyric, written after I had a tarot card reading and drew the “tower”, which symbolizes much power to come but also corruption. |
