Abimalech's Undoing

To the high tower!
The enemy surrounds!
To the high tower!
They have gained ground...


Just a fragile woman
with long dark hair
runs down the dusty path
her head and feet bare


Caught off guard
at the sound of alarm
To the tower! To the tower!
The enemy surrounds!


Banging on the door
fumbling at the lock
pleading for shelter
trembling with shock


Breaking through the entry
Dashing up the stairs
out of time, out of hope
almost out of air


In the shelter of the tower
climbing higher and higher
men closing in
to set them all on fire


Just a woman, just a woman
Seeking shelter from the flames
Weak in body, weak in mind
...but a heart that can't be tamed


Looks down at the man
that hates her beyond reason
Pressing in, closing in
With the crowd that he is leading


The millstone, the millstone
across the floor she drug
She heaved it out the window
and squashed him like a bug


Leaning out the tower
Staring down below
She sees the man who chased her
Laying dead from the blow


Just a woman, just a stone
Where a man met his fate
Abimalech the warrior
Done in by what he hates
