Lyrics Fortress Around Your Heart - Sting
Under
the
ruins
of
a
walled
city
crumbling
towers
in
beams
of
yellow
light
no
flags
of
truce,
no
cries
of
pity
the
siege
guns
had
been
pounding
all
through
the
night
it
took
a
day
to
build
the
city
we
walked
through
its
streets
in
the
afternoon
as
i
returned
across
the
fields
i'd
known
i
recognized
the
walls
that
i
once
laid
i
had
to
stop
in
my
tracks
for
fear
of
walking
on
the
mines
i'd
laid
And
if
i
have
built
this
fortress
around
your
heart
encircled
you
in
trenches
and
barbed
wire
then
let
me
build
a
bridge
for
i
cannot
fill
the
chasm
and
let
me
set
the
battlements
on
fire
Then
i
went
off
to
fight
some
battle
that
i'd
invented
inside
my
head
away
so
long
for
years
and
years
you
probably
thought
or
even
wished
that
i
was
dead
while
the
armies
all
are
sleeping
beneath
the
tattered
flag
we'd
made
i
had
to
stop
in
my
tracks
for
fear
of
walking
on
the
mines
i'd
laid
And
if
i
have
built
this
fortress
around
your
heart
encircled
you
in
trenches
and
barbed
wire
then
let
me
build
a
bridge
for
i
cannot
fill
the
chasm
and
let
me
set
the
battlements
on
fire
This
prison
has
now
become
your
home
a
sentence
you
seem
prepared
to
pay
it
took
a
day
to
build
the
city
we
walked
through
its
streets
in
the
afternoon
as
i
returned
across
the
lands
i'd
known
i
recognized
the
fields
where
i'd
once
played
i
had
to
stop
in
my
tracks
for
fear
of
walking
on
the
mines
i'd
laid
And
if
i
have
built
this
fortress
around
your
heart
encircled
you
in
trenches
and
barbed
wire
then
let
me
build
a
bridge
for
i
cannot
fill
the
chasm
and
let
me
set
the
battlements
on
fire
