Lyrics
Fortress down, it got built up way too high and then it
Tumbled down with the slightest of blows
Underground, where the trees all take their hold, I'm going
Underground to the quiet
Stake your need splay it out
Scrimp and gorge fore the drought
Pray for death, oh not your own
Fall sinners down before the throne
Suffer hard for your life, a noble cause
So telling
Carve a cross into your bedpost
Grieve your loss but make amends with all your ghosts
Invite them to your room or to the circus
Stake your need splay it out
Scrimp and gorge fore the drought
Pray for death oh not your own
Fall sinners down before the throne
Fortress gone
Stone walls gave way to life; unsound unspoken
Truth runs deep
Blue sky indifference
Gone.....................gone
Fear builds feeble walls
Gone gone gone
Fear and you will fall
Gone gone .............
