This song was written in the early days of the Ukraine war and uses the image of the Tower tarot card. The Tower stands for two separate things, the stability of the status quo, but also the constraints of conformity. The chaos is all around us, will we fall – or fly?
The lead guitar is inspired by Jimmy Page's work with Roy Harper.

Lyrics
Who knows what is really right
Who knows if we should join the fight
The lightning strikes, the tower falls
Hard times coming for us all.
Fire falling from the sky
Dark clouds and we must fly
We are falling and flying
Falling and flying
The lights go out, the clock has stopped
Up ahead the road is blocked
The Tower walls are blown apart
Nothing left but a brand new start
We are falling and flying
Falling and flying
You know what is really right
You know we must join the fight
The lightning strikes, the Tower falls
Better times coming for us all
Fire falling from the sky
Sunrise and another day
Who knows if we should join the fight
The lightning strikes, the tower falls
Hard times coming for us all.
Fire falling from the sky
Dark clouds and we must fly
We are falling and flying
Falling and flying
The lights go out, the clock has stopped
Up ahead the road is blocked
The Tower walls are blown apart
Nothing left but a brand new start
We are falling and flying
Falling and flying
You know what is really right
You know we must join the fight
The lightning strikes, the Tower falls
Better times coming for us all
Fire falling from the sky
Sunrise and another day
