Fortress Guard Lyrics

Darkness
(Dark shadows on the walls of stone.
There is no sign of dawn.)
Stretches over the skyline,
The city sleeps a nervous sleep.
(Worrying about tomorrow but the
Fortress guard is up.)

The rising wind with a
smell of smoke
(The wind is carrying a smell of smoke.
Seems like the enemies have already woken.)
The rising beat of a heart in trouble
(Hope for the best and ease your fears.)
Ease your fears; there will be more to fear tomorrow.
(Tonight is the night so keep on watching, guard.)
Keep on watching, guard.
(You’ve got to be patient.)

Until the fortress falls
We shall protect her walls.
Here stand we all for one and one for all.

Silence
Speaks of secret awareness
The things to come so feared and predicted Are about to start.
(The fortress walls are thick,
but every brick wares a shed of doubt.)
A shed of doubt rising too intense,
(A sensibility defied by will.)
Defied by will as entirely senseless…
(The task is a challenge so have it pictured.)
Have it pictured in your head before you see it.
(The fight is tonight so keep on watching, guard.)
Keep on watching, guard.
(You've got to be patient,
got to keep watching,
got to keep watching.)

Until the fortress falls
We shall protect her walls.
Here stand we all for one and one for all.

The sound of horns in two icy tones
The lightened sky, a parade of torches.
Every moment of this night can be your last one.
Keep on watching, guard,
Keep on waiting.
