A Tower Struck Down Lyrics - Genesis Revisited Ii - 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
