[Maybebop - Fortress songtext lyrics]
Up on a mount, a grey shape to behold
Clad in mist, it arises towers and stairs
Much too steep and too bold
Try not to spy o’er it's walls, be foretold
Blaze and glory are gone long
Deadly and deep
With’ring moats scar the grounds
Dare ye swim, ye will perish
Drawbridges shut
Ghostly guards make their rounds
Iron gates, like a hoard of wild hounds
Chains in wind sing in anguish
Yonder the gates, ancient ways lead inside
Guiding ye to the sanctum
Armours stand lifeless in rank and in file
Torches are blazing in dusky twilight
And I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress and I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress
Old paintings tell stories of
Long bygone times
In once shining hues, in reds and blues
The bridges were open
The gates they were wide
The fort, it stood noble, proud and new
The court
They were drinking and dancing along
Fair Maidens and knights
Joined in spirit and song
Now I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress and I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress
Climbing the stairs, up right up to the keep
Savage height, cruel ascension
There I can see them, in darkness so deep
Hundreds of strongholds send
Warnings and pleas
Silent, forsaken, I see them and weep
For I know that inside them
Still men go in grief
And they stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside their fortress
And they stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside their fortress
Clad in mist, it arises towers and stairs
Much too steep and too bold
Try not to spy o’er it's walls, be foretold
Blaze and glory are gone long
Deadly and deep
With’ring moats scar the grounds
Dare ye swim, ye will perish
Drawbridges shut
Ghostly guards make their rounds
Iron gates, like a hoard of wild hounds
Chains in wind sing in anguish
Yonder the gates, ancient ways lead inside
Guiding ye to the sanctum
Armours stand lifeless in rank and in file
Torches are blazing in dusky twilight
And I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress and I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress
Old paintings tell stories of
Long bygone times
In once shining hues, in reds and blues
The bridges were open
The gates they were wide
The fort, it stood noble, proud and new
The court
They were drinking and dancing along
Fair Maidens and knights
Joined in spirit and song
Now I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress and I stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside my fortress
Climbing the stairs, up right up to the keep
Savage height, cruel ascension
There I can see them, in darkness so deep
Hundreds of strongholds send
Warnings and pleas
Silent, forsaken, I see them and weep
For I know that inside them
Still men go in grief
And they stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside their fortress
And they stride all alone
Through the grey halls of stone
Inside their fortress
