This track has existed since April 30th 2011 as an instrumental entitled "La Capra Crepa" which is part of a Spanish tongue-twister. The title was simplified and the song got lyrics to appear on this record. The only other noticeable change is the addition of the piano and the bass licks being on guitar (giving it an accidentally Clutch-esque feel).
lyrics
Atop The Tower Without Time in the master bedroom
To which I have returned without my messages questioned
You discuss with the thick air things we promised to leave alone
And let slip something that plays tricks with my mind
The purpose, the truth and the history
The purpose, the truth and the history
The purpose, the truth and the history
The purpose, the truth and the history
I have not been constructing a place of safety
I have instead been fortifying the one thing I want you to hate
And this realisation that a familiar messenger brings
Opens my eyes to so much more of what I detest
This Tower; the truth has been revealed
The mortar is of tears and the bricks are bruised
This Tower; the truth has been revealed
The mortar is of tears and my name bleeds from every brick
The Void has eaten itself this year thanks to you
Somehow I miss it because all that I take from it
Is unwavering bravery in the face of my own sadness
For the greater good of… whatever
In times of need we make promises we don’t keep
You make promises you won’t keep
The purpose, the truth and the history
The purpose, the truth and the history
This Tower; the truth has been revealed
The mortar is of tears and the bricks are bruised
This Tower; the truth has been revealed
The mortar is of tears and my name bleeds from every brick
This Tower; the truth has been revealed
And you pretend not to like it this way
