The Floating Tower

"The Floating Tower" is a song by ArenaNet employee Paul Kwinn written and performed for the Secrets of the Obscure release party. It was so well received that they requested that he record it to share publicly.

Lyrics

My friends I come from Garenhoff

A peaceful town and fair

You'll find elementals common

And violence quite rare

Our town gets many tourists

Drawn not by beach or beer

But by long-standing mystery

Of a paradox so clear

What is that floating tower?

Then on an August morning

An uneventful dawn

We raised our eyes up to the skies

Our tower it was gone

The elementals vanished

It drove a few folk mad

So I set out to answer this

New mystery we had

What is that floating tower?

And where did it go?

Some clues brought me to Frode then, and what a tale he told

Through him I next met Zojja, a golemancer bold

She might be called Felcia, depends upon the Day

And through some rifts came demons it took all our might to slay

The Astral Ward had miracles

To make our victory sure

Like tracking rifts aborning

With the Heart of the Obscure

They shared the Wizard's Vault with me

With wondrous prizes there

And now I'm wearing relics

Though I'm not sure quite where

What is that floating tower?

And where did it go?

And why am I in it?

Armed with these and other treasures, we kept Kryptis at bay

Determined not to let them suck all emotion away

And started hearing voices, and strained to keep control

For we must put down Eparch, our glorious final goal

I even got a skyscale

I'd never thought I would

It takes so long but these guys knew,

A shortcut, so that's good!

And everybody's striking

A new pose to fit their mood

Some like to read a book (nerd!)

Or flex heroic (dude!)

What is that floating tower?

And where did it go?

And why am I in it?

Can I please meet Felicia?
