The Seer's Tower Lyrics - Sufjan Stevens

In the tower above the earth, 

There is a view that reaches far 

Where we see the universe, 

I see the fire, I see the end. 

Seven miles above the earth, 

There is Emmanuel of mothers. 

With his sword, with his robe, 

He comes dividing man from brothers. 

In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel. 

In the powers of the earth, we wait until it rips and rips. 

In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel. 

Oh my mother, she betrayed us, but my father loved and bathed us.
