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