The Tower

A pull more fearsome then gravity
Lives within a single building
Known to all who pass
As a place
Sinister and devouring

The Tower upon the coast
Of a dead nation
It acts as herald to all
Lost souls crossing the sea
Seeking a better home
A new beginning already over

There is no rest to be found
In this decaying place
Those who once lived in peace
Killed all their dreams
Murderer the land
Razed their fellow man

The only sign of their lives
Their twice-cursed legacy
Is a land for the distraught
and a Tower
filled with every lost hope
all the hours of happiness
and each tear of joy

That is why the Tower pulls
Why wretches and those defeated
Come to wander that lonely land
In the hope
In the mad pursuit
Of finding what those people once had

Hope
Happiness
Joy

All
Long
Gone

Locked away in the Tower.
