The Tower

(Can you figure it out?)

There are 12 commandments
There are 12 divisions
12 are the pagans who have mapped the sky
In the outer circle
to the inner sanctum
From the octave at the end of time

The Fountain, The Trinity
The Pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The Stone of Infinity washed in the flood

Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided and The Hanged Man smiles
Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided, let The Fool decide

In the atom circle where we break the stars
Hammer into anvil snuffing out the sun
Witness all the killing
See the birth of Mars
Our religion thrown into the fire

The Fountain, The Trinity
The Pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The Stone of Infinity washed in the flood

Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided and The Hanged Man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The Moon and Sun divided, The Magician laughs

Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided and The Priestess kneels
Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided, let The Fool decide

Lovers in the tower
The Moon and Sun divided and The Hanged Man smiles
Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided, let The Fool decide

Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided, The Priestess kneels to receive
Lovers in The Tower
The Moon and Sun divided, The Magician laughs...

- Bruce Dickinson (from The Chemical Wedding)

Yah, I figured it had something to do with tarot cards. Or not. I've been watching Carnivale, that's how I got even that far.

I am too lazy to figure it out...I can't remember what the cards mean. It's been too long. Share?
