"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.

Major Arcana

The Tower

Hated that guy! Flashy car, looks, hair, clothes, girls, sex. 
Achieved nothing but pain.
Here is that song that tells of a period after whereby I wanted to be someone else to try and forget what was done to me 24 years ago. 

Soft rap, R&B, soft, emotional. Song by Djsas

Someone Else

Verse]
Most of my life, disguised in a mask
Chasing dreams, but the shadows they cast
Living a  flashy,life
future fakin' brash
Empty heart
cash couldn't mend my broken past

[Verse 2]
Lost in lust, hired love for the night
Darkened soul, searching for the light
Hotel rooms, never felt so tight
Smilin' wide, but the pain outta sight
Tried to be 
that someone , else

[Chorus]
Wanted to be more than just a show
Someone real, not a headline show
Life in the fast lane, but slow on growing
Walkin' away from the lies I used to know
Just wanted to ,be
that someone, someone else

[Bridge]
Fake thrills, empty bills, voids filled
Actin' like a king but always unfulfilled
Played the part, but the role almost 
killed me
Livin' a story so fake,
took fate ,to rebuild

[Verse 3]
Shiny car, but the engine was full of, bulletproof lies
Friends were frauds, prices that escalate high
Thought I had it all but felt cold inside
Hated that guy that envy can't disguise

[Verse 4]
Tossed the mask, threw the keys on the floor
Left the shadows, walked straight out the door
From the echo of a past I can't ignore
Finally found the self I've searched for.

any young man
listening to these
lyrics
don’t ever let
anyone else tell
you, that , 
you are not 
good enough 

Cause You Are

Someone_Else

IT NEVER RAINS FOREVER
V1
Today, a calm feeling swept over me
In a world of chaos don’t know how it could be
Perhaps it was the guru on the video
Telling me to stack sats and enjoy the show

CHORUS
Things are hard right now
But things will get better
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains forever

V2
What if there was enough gold to go around?
What if there was no more war to be found?
What if there was no more Left, no more Right?
No more reason to argue and fight

What if there was just one King?
One true and righteous King of kings
I believe He’s with us here and now
Exposing this world’s sacred cow

CHORUS
Things are hard right now
Oh, but things will get better
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains, never rains forever

BRIDGE
Empires rise, empires fall
Ages come, ages go
These are incredible times
New seeds to sow, whoa-whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa……
……..whoa-whoa, whoa

CHORUS/TAG
Things are hard, hard right now
But things will get better, yeah-ee-yeh
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains forever
Things will get better, yeah
You gotta believe
Things always get better, whoa-whoa, whoa..

I don’t know exactly how but things will get better, yeah, whoa-whoa

Today, a calm feeling swept over me
In a world of chaos don’t know how it could be…whoa-whoa

Soft Goodbyes

“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
