Fortress Around Your Heart (Demonstration Version - Includes Lead Singer) Lyrics
Under the ruins of a walled city crumbling towers in beams of yellow light no flags of truce, no cries of pity the siege guns had been pounding all through the night it took a day to build the city we walked through its streets in the afternoon as i returned across the fields i'd known i recognized the walls that i once laid i had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines i'd laid And if i have built this fortress around your heart encircled you in trenches and barbed wire then let me build a bridge for i cannot fill the chasm and let me set the battlements on fire Then i went off to fight some battle that i'd invented inside my head away so long for years and years you probably thought or even wished that i was dead while the armies all are sleeping beneath the tattered flag we'd made i had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines i'd laid This prison has now become your home a sentence you seem prepared to pay it took a day to build the city we walked through its streets in the afternoon as i returned across the lands i'd known i recognized the fields where i'd once played i had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines i'd laid And if i have built this fortress around your heart encircled you in trenches and barbed wire then let me build a bridge for i cannot fill the chasm and let me set the battlements on fire
