I see seven towers, but I only see one way out

You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking

From the poison stream, then I floated, out of here

D
She runs through the streets with eyes painted red

Under a black belly of clouds in the rain
D
in through a doorway, she brings me
G
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea
D                           G
she is raging she is raging and storm blows up in her eyes

She will,
A          C/G    G        A
suffer the needle chill,
C/G  G   D
She's running to stand,   still.
