LYRICS:
We guard a tower
We guard a white tower in London
A seat of power, yeah
A place where anything can happen
​
It's been a mint, a royal zoo, a castle protecting you
It was wood when it was new, now it's a museum
For the Krays and Rudolf Hess, William Wallace and Queen Bess,
Walter Raleigh and the rest, it was a prison
​
Here's a mystery for you
The princes in the tower went missing
But people think a clue
Is their uncle Richard became king
​
The Tower's seen all of these terrible days
Like the death of Jane Grey (Jane Grey, Jane Grey, Jane Grey)
A teenager given the crown, must have thought she was made
Got played; she was queen for nine days
​
Kept tigers there
The leopards', panthers' and lions' den
Let's talk polar bears
They had one that swam in the Thames
​
It's been a mint, a royal zoo, a castle protecting you
It was wood when it was new, now it's a museum
For Samuel Pepys and Anne Boleyn, Henry's fifth wife Catherine
Guy Fawkes and more like him, it was a prison
​
Here's a legend for you
While the ravens stay, it'll stand proudly
They guard the tower for you
But if the ravens leave it'll end badly
​
A tower full of all the historical things
Like the death of Anne Boleyn (Boleyn, Boleyn, Boleyn)
Executed by the sword and the case was so thin
Yet no win; her accuser was the king
​
We guard a tower
We guard a white tower in London.
