"The Tower" is an explosive and emotionally charged track from Xak Stahl’s Major Arcana album, embodying the raw energy of upheaval, destruction, and transformation. Inspired by the Tarot card of the same name, this song captures the moment when everything falls apart—only to be rebuilt stronger than before.

With thunderous drums, crashing guitars, and haunting synths, "The Tower" mirrors the chaos of sudden change. The lyrics dive into the reckoning of illusions shattering and the struggle to rise from the wreckage. It's a powerful reminder that even in destruction, there is rebirth.

Let "The Tower" shake your foundations and guide you through the fire. Sometimes, the only way forward is through the storm. ⚡🔥

Lyrics:

A crack in the sky, a fire in the air,
The walls come down, but no one’s prepared.
Everything I built, everything I knew,
Gone in a flash—what do I do?

Lightning strikes without a sound,
No way back, no solid ground.
Through the wreckage, through the fall,
Will I rise or lose it all?

I am The Tower, the storm, the break,
The chaos that comes when illusions fade.
Tear it down, let the fire burn,
Through destruction, we return.

Every comfort, every lie,
Crumbles beneath a shattered sky.
No warning, no safe escape,
Only ashes in my wake.

Lightning strikes without a sound,
No way back, no solid ground.
Through the wreckage, through the fall,
Will I rise or lose it all?

I am The Tower, the storm, the break,
The chaos that comes when illusions fade.
Tear it down, let the fire burn,
Through destruction, we return.

What’s left standing, what remains?
From the ruin, I’ll rebuild again.
Through the fire, through the pain,
From the ashes, I’ll rise unchained.

I am The Tower, the storm, the break,
The chaos that comes when illusions fade.
Tear it down, let the fire burn,
Through destruction, we return.

The sky is clear, the night is still,
A world undone, a test of will.
From the wreckage, I have learned,
The Tower falls, but I return.

Strange Moonlight - Enigma Command Initiation

You may or may not recognize this cover because the arrangement I chose generally fits my acoustic folk style and sound.........

"Linger" is a song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries from their debut studio album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993). Written by band members Dolores O'Riordan and Noel Hogan, and produced by Stephen Street, "Linger" was first released as the second and final single from the album on 15 February 1993 by Island Records. It was later re-released on 31 January 1994.

"Linger", which has an acoustic arrangement featuring a string section, became the band's first major hit, peaking at number three in their native Ireland, number eight in the United States, and number 14 in the United Kingdom."                Wikipedia

Dark Knight Rising

“In and Out” tells the story of love tested by uncertainty, when someone drifts into your world then disappears without reason, leaving only questions. The verses ache with longing and doubt, late nights spent waiting at the door, wondering if they belong or if they will walk away again. Every word carries the tension of inconsistency, showing how fragile a heart becomes when love feels like a swinging door. The chorus cuts through with power, repeating the demand for clarity: no more in and out, no more games, choose love or let go. Emotion builds verse by verse, from vulnerability to anger to determination, moving like a storm that finally clears the air. Between choruses, space and silence echo the hesitation, before the plea rises again with even greater urgency and force. By the third verse, resolve begins to replace doubt, the voice no longer begging but insisting it is time to stop playing. The last chorus hits harder than the rest, as the question becomes undeniable: either stay or go, no more half-measures in love. This is a song that many will recognize, because everyone has felt the sting of someone who cannot decide to be present. “In and Out” is not just a song—it is a declaration that love must be steady, true, and chosen without hesitation.

Lyrics
In and Out

You come into my life and make me feel
You stir me up and change my life
Then you disappear, leaving me in fear (why)
I stumble around, trying to work it out (lost in doubt)

Mmmmm mmmm

Now you are back as though nothing has happened
Sorry, can’t work this way, I am not a swinging door
Can’t just come and go, it blows my mind (puts me in turmoil)
This has to stop, no more come and go, we could fit (together)

So, either you are or either you ain’t
No more swinging doors, you gotta belong (you do)
You can’t blow in like the wind, and go out again (not happening)
So, either you are or either you ain’t (so which is it)
In or Out, In or Out

Mmmmm mmmmmm

Instrumental 10 sec

Got enough problems in my world, don’t need to add a Gypsy
This girl, is not that way, likes to stay in one place
You’re welcome to make this your place (yeah)
But, No more, In and Out, In and Out of this place (uhhh hah)

Mmmmm mmmmm

So, either you are or either you ain’t
No more swinging doors, you gotta belong (you do)
You can’t blow in like the wind, and go out again (not happening)
So, either you are or either you ain’t (so which is it)
In or Out, In or Out

Time has come, to grow up, either you do or you don’t
Not a kid no longer, no more playing the field
No more playing the field if you want me
It is time to be

Mmmmm mmmmmm

So, either you are or either you ain’t
No more swinging doors, no more swinging doors, you gotta know (you do)
You can’t blow in like the wind, and go out again
So, either you are or either you ain’t (so which is it)
In or Out, In or Out

mmmmmm mmmmmm yeah mmmmm

love tested by uncertainty, disappears without reason, longing and doubt, waiting at the door, tension of inconsistency, fragile a heart, swinging door, demand for clarity, choose love or let go, moving like a storm, space and silence echo, plea rises again, resolve begins to replace doubt, half-measures in love, declaration that love must be steady
