Based on "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" by Robert Browning.
Lyrics
The Dark Tower He lies with his eye a malicious eye I see Watches askance as he works his lie on me Set by the road to waylay and ensnare That hoary old cripple points the way I dare Riding on through the barren wasteland, follow on where the old man pointed. Nary a comfort nary a rest I must ride on 'till I reach the tower. Years drawn out on the quest and all have failed So long have I suffered and my hope is dwindled. A barren wasteland ragged, dry and bare. A stiff, blind horse I pass every bone a-stare Riding on through the barren wasteland, follow on where the old man pointed. Nary a comfort nary a rest I must ride on 'till I reach the tower. Sudden little river Scrubby little trees Fording across Ill at ease On the other bank A field before. Who were the fighters? What did they fight for? Far from the end A land full of dread The devila019s blackbird Flew past my head Suddenly the mountains Rose all 'round me What is this place? What is this I see? At once it came to me two hills on the right The Tower lay between oh! Heavenly sight. Peers and companions their names in my ears To the Tower I have come despite my fears. Riding on through the barren wasteland, follow on where the old man pointed. Nary a comfort nary a rest I must ride on 'till I reach the tower. To the Tower I have come!
