Fortress Around Your Heart
In the style of
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
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'd once made
had to stop
in my tracks for fear
of walking on
the mines i laid and
if i built this fortress
around your heart
encircled you
in trenches
and barbed wire
then let me
build a bridge
for i cannot
fill your chasm
then 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 laid and
if i 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
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
had to stop
in my tracks for fear
of walking on
the mines i laid and
if i 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
then let me
set the battlements
on fire
