In the Red Dwarf's Tower Lyrics
Well, what I've told you
I don't know it's for sure
Don't grieve Ophelia
And try not to breathe
It's not on me to say
For I will sit here
In my tower
I don't really care for
But I fear that
There will be a bitter end
[Chorus:]
(Suu-suu) Solomon
Solomon
Solomon
(Suu-suu su-sa-su, su-sa-su)
Join the last hour
Man's final hour
Here in my tower
Tower
You will be on your own
Here in my tower
Tower
You will be on your own
Here in my tower
(Now move on forwards
You're dead end crawlers
You dead crawlers
You're dead
Crawlers
Now move on forwards
You dead end crawlers)
I can sense your lies
'Cause I control your mind
It's such a strange delight
No doubt
You must be blind
[(Spoken:)]
Do you not see the dwarf
Dressed in red
Go back
Before the nothingness
Will take you
Be brave
Oh, He'll fool you all
(All that matters
It won't matter
Let it shatter) (2x)
There is calm before the storm
The moment of the gnome
Life
Is a never-ending crime
It's a never-ending lie
Let it shatter
The eyes of Ra gaze blindly
Worlds fade to black then
The faceless lord comes down
[Chorus]
The end of light
It's not the end of all time
Not the end of all things
You should know
You wouldn't believe
You surely would
What I've searched
What I've found
No need to know
Who's to blame
Come recognize my power
No longer deny me
Bow down
There's no need to pray
For you surely fall
There is no surrender
Now please the red dwarf
Yes, the red dwarf
First, I was a little insecure
But I don't think
That anyone or anything
Can ever be like me
Like me
(Compete)
I might be your darkest nightmare
I might carry deepest truth
I might be your deepest nightmare
I may be your doom
(All that matters
Let it shatter
Let is shatter
It won't matter
Life
Is a never-ending crime
It's a never-ending lie
Let it shatter)
There is science
There are rules
Redemption is for fools
Resolve the spell
Don't break it
World's dressed in black when
The faceless lord comes down
[Chorus]
[(Spoken:)]
I'd like to put it clear
In saying
You're all to burn
I just make up that pyre
To free you
From this burden
And your guilt
And guilt there is
In everyone
It's too late for her
I have to admit
Others will die
I think
Your choice
Choice there's no choice
In dark lands
And evil and sorrow
Will come out of this
Where do we go from here?
How will it end?
Is there anyone who knows?
How can we survive?
Just be aware
How stillness grows
Empty words
Can't fill this silence
All meaning is hollow
And vague
(Sigh in my tower
Die)
From the ashes
Still I'm afraid
There's nothing
Sigh
You'll soon be dead
I don't know it's for sure
Don't grieve Ophelia
And try not to breathe
For I will sit here
In my tower
I don't really care for
But I fear that
There will be a bitter end
(Suu-suu) Solomon
Solomon
Solomon
(Suu-suu su-sa-su, su-sa-su)
Man's final hour
Tower
You will be on your own
Here in my tower
Tower
You will be on your own
Here in my tower
You're dead end crawlers
You dead crawlers
You're dead

From the liner notes by Markus Heitz (author of "The Dark Lands"):
"IN THE RED DWARF'S TOWER" Nicolas and his friends struggle along to the tower, which is surrounded by halls of mirrors, machines and devices of madness. While at the beginning Bez jeers at them, he soon realizes them to be equal opponents. And then suddenly they find Magdalena: dead by all appearances.
