Fortress Around Your Heart - Sting[00:00:01]

Under the ruins of a walled city[00:00:19]

Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light[00:00:23]

No flags of truce no cries of pity[00:00:27]

The siege guns had been pounding[00:00:30]

All through the night[00:00:32]

It took a day to build the city[00:00:35]

We walked through its streets in the afternoon[00:00:38]

As I returned across the fields I'd known[00:00:43]

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

I had to stop in my tracks for fear[00:00:51]

Of walking on the mines I'd laid[00:00:54]

And if I built this fortress around your heart[00:00:58]

Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire[00:01:06]

Then let me build a bridge[00:01:14]

For I cannot fill the chasm[00:01:18]

And let me set the battlements on fire[00:01:22]

Then I went off to fight some battle[00:01:35]

That I'd invented inside my head[00:01:38]

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

You probably thought or even[00:01:46]

Wished that I was dead[00:01:48]

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

Beneath the tattered flag wed made[00:01:54]

I had to stop in my track for fear[00:01:58]

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

And if I built this fortress around your heart[00:02:05]

Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire[00:02:14]

Then let me build a bridge[00:02:22]

For I cannot fill the chasm[00:02:25]

And let me set the battlements on fire[00:02:30]

This prison has now become your home[00:02:50]

A sentence you seem prepared to pay[00:02:54]

It took a day to build the city[00:02:58]

We walked through its streets in the afternoon[00:03:02]

As I returned across the lands I'd known[00:03:06]

I recognized the fields where I'd once played[00:03:10]

I had to stop in my tracks for fear[00:03:14]

Of walking on the mines I'd laid[00:03:18]

And if I built this fortress around your heart[00:03:21]

Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire[00:03:30]

Then let me build a bridge[00:03:38]

For I cannot fill the chasm[00:03:41]

And let me set the battlements on fire[00:03:46]
