about

Dallas, TX based rockers SIXTH FLOOR CONSPIRACY bring you The Dark Tower. An epic sonic homage inspired by Stephen King’s best-selling series of the same name. Vocalist Jim Shafer, guitarist Kris Evans and bassist Tim Slack teamed up to create the song. Evans dynamic song writing and guitar work, paired with Slack’s bombastic bass lines put down a solid foundation for Shafer’s dream/nightmare like vocals and lyrics. Fans of the series will hear elements created from imagery in the books.

lyrics

Through time and space illusion
From the desert to the sea
In fevered sleep confusion
I hear the tower call to me
Drawn in through the doorways
Our Ka-tet is finally whole
It's never to be broken
The interweaving of our souls
So we walk the beams like tightropes
As worlds crumble at our feet
Will we reach the clearing
Or where the nexus finally meet

Everything is different now
What was loved is gone
Buried under wasteland
This world has moved on

The Crimson King is watching
With eyes of red aglow
Waiting to drown you
In the chaos of the undertow
And he will stop at nothing
To bring the tower down
To rule Discordia
From a throne of skulls
With rusted crown

Surround me Gan
In your white light
Give me your strength
To get me through
Help me stand true
Against the demons in the night

I awaken from my nightmares
Into daydreams filled with death
I will walk through fields of roses
until I take my final breath
I will blow the horn of Eld
Before I'm pulled back to the start
I'll shoot you with my mind
And kill you With my heart

The guardian at the gate
Has brought me to my knees
So leave me traveler
There's other worlds than these

The Crimson King is watching
With eyes of red aglow
Waiting to drown you
In the chaos of the undertow
And he will stop at nothing
To bring the tower down
To rule Discordia
From a throne of skulls
With rusted crown

Surround me Gan
In your white light
Give me your strength
To get me through
Help me stand true
Against the demons in the night

The Crimson King is watching
With eyes of red aglow
Waiting to drown you
In the chaos of the undertow
And he will stop at nothing
To bring the tower down
To rule Discordia
From a throne of skulls
With rusted crown
