Tower of Stone
Master Sword Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My walls may creak and crumble
A farce for all the world to see
I stand open and defiant
Unabashed of what I glean

Adorn me with your sculpture
Let me bask in your demise
Shun the goddess with your scripture
See the reverence in your lies

Come, approach my walls
Into my shifting halls
Come to my clutches
Succumb to the darkness...

A bloodstained hand
Draws you ever near
Towering higher
In light, in fear
Up towards the heavens
Depths of the deep
Will meet you at the tower of the stone

Embrace me with your slander
Serenade with your blaspheme
As I tower toward the heavens
To invade that world of dreams

Send your moon to cure my daydreams
Cloak my figure in your light
As the twilight years loom closer
Wander to eternal night

Come, approach my walls
Into my shifting halls
Come to my clutches
Succumb to the darkness...

Don the mask
Unveil your truest form
Light the path
Of the lost and worn

A labyrinthine web
In defiance of the three
Forsake you at the Tower of Stone

Here in the night, the moonlight's slowly shrinking
Shows in this light, three days til death comes creeping

Don the mask
Unveil your truest form
Light the path
Of the lost and worn
A labyrinthine web
In defiance of the three




Forsake you at the Tower of
Break you at the Tower of Stone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Tower of Stone" by Master Sword depict a powerful fortress that stands tall, but may not be as invincible as it appears. The walls of the tower may creak and crumble, despite its commanding presence. The singer of the song invites others to approach the tower and succumb to its darkness, suggesting that it represents a dangerous force. The tower is described as adorned with sculpture and standing as a symbol of defiance. The singer seems to encourage others to shun the goddess and embrace lies in order to bask in the tower's power. However, the lyrics also suggest that the tower may ultimately lead to a dark fate, as the moon is sent to "cure" daydreams and "cloak" the figure of the singer. The tower is described as a "labyrinthine web" in defiance of three powerful forces, perhaps symbolizing the tower's ability to resist even those who seek to bring it down.

The reverence and contempt of the lyrics is so insidiously beautiful; the verse "Embrace me with your slander, serenade with your blasphemes" in particular just gets me every time ❤

I'm not long finished my first play through of Majora's Mask - though I'm still 6 masks shy - and while I had heard this song before, but after hearing it again after doing the Stone Tower Temple

😲

It was almost like PTSD or something, given the headache the temple caused 😆😅

Still a good song though.
