Fortress Around Your Heart - Sting[00:00:00]

Written by：Sting[00:00:02]

Under the ruins of a walled city[00:00:18]

Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light[00:00:22]

No flags of truce no cries of pity[00:00:26]

The siege guns had been pounding all through the night[00:00:30]

It took a day to build the city[00:00:33]

We walked through it's streets in the afternoon[00:00:38]

As I returned across the fields I'd known[00:00:42]

I recognized the walls that I once made[00:00:46]

I had to stop in my tracks for fear[00:00:50]

Of walking on the mines I'd laid[00:00:53]

And if I built this fortress around your heart[00:00:57]

Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire[00:01:05]

Then let me build a bridge[00:01:13]

For I cannot fill the chasm[00:01:17]

And let me set the battlements on fire[00:01:21]

Then I went off to fight some battle[00:01:33]

That I'd invented inside my head[00:01:37]

Away so long for years and years[00:01:42]

You probably thought or even wished that I was dead[00:01:45]

While the armies are all sleeping[00:01:50]

Beneath the tattered flag wed made[00:01:53]

I had to stop in my track for fear[00:01:57]

Of walking on the mines I'd laid[00:02:01]

And if I built this fortress around your heart[00:02:04]

Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire[00:02:13]

Then let me build a bridge[00:02:21]

For I cannot fill the chasm[00:02:24]

Let me set the battlements on fire[00:02:29]

This prison has now become your home[00:02:49]

A sentence you seem prepared to pay[00:02:53]

It took a day to build the city[00:02:57]

We walked through its streets in the afternoon[00:03:01]

As I returned across the land I'd known[00:03:05]

I recognise the fields where I'd once played[00:03:09]

I had to stop in my tracks for fear[00:03:13]

Of walking on the mines I'd laid[00:03:16]

And if I built this fortress around your heart[00:03:20]

Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire[00:03:29]

Then let me build a bridge[00:03:36]

For I cannot fill the chasm[00:03:40]

And let me set the battlements on fire[00:03:45]
