[00:00.00]Fortress Around Your Heart - The Tierney Sutton Band/Tierney Sutton/Christian Jacob/Kevin Axt
[00:23.15]Under the ruins of a walled city
[00:26.83]Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
[00:30.29]No flags of truce no cries of pity
[00:33.87]The siege guns had been pounding through the night
[00:37.64]It took a day to build the city
[00:41.27]We walked through it's streets in the afternoon
[00:45.00]As I returned across the fields I'd known
[00:48.35]I recognised the walls that I once made
[00:52.38]I had to stop in my tracks for fear
[00:55.36]Of walking on the mines I'd laid
[01:13.72]Then I went off to fight some battle
[01:17.27]That I'd invented inside my head
[01:20.96]Away so long for years and years
[01:24.17]You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
[01:28.58]While the armies all are sleeping
[01:32.06]Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
[01:35.71]I had to stop in my tracks for fear
[01:38.96]Of walking on the mines I'd laid
[01:42.88]And if I've built this fortress around your heart
[01:50.05]Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
[01:57.51]Then let me build a bridge
[02:01.16]For I cannot fill the chasm
[02:04.84]And let me set the battlements on fire
[02:46.48]This prison has now become your home
[02:49.71]A sentence you seem prepared to pay
[02:53.28]It took a day to build the city
[02:56.95]We walked through it's streets in the afternoon
[03:00.67]As I returned across the lands I'd known
[03:04.30]I recognised the fields where I'd once played
[03:07.74]I had to stop in my tracks for fear
[03:11.35]Of walking on the mines I'd laid
[03:14.97]And if I've built this fortress around your heart
[03:22.41]Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
[03:29.89]Then let me build a bridge
[03:33.46]For I cannot fill the chasm
[03:37.21]And let me set the battlements
[03:41.42]Let me set the battlements
[03:45.00]Let me set the battlements on fire
