Fortress Songtext
von Alter Bridge

Am I lost to wonder forever
Perhaps for the rest of my days?
If all that has been surrendered will just go to waste
You left me out in the distance
To wander this world on my own
Sometimes it′s so hard to admit it but I can't let go
I can′t let you go

Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all, fortress coming down
I know we can't save it all
No we can't save it all, everything is gone
Oh, I have seen it all
Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all


One thing I know is for certain
We cannot have all we want
Still this will not stop the hurting, it is never gone
Now I hold on to the one thing
Too fragile to stand on its own
The fortress we built it is crumbling still I can′t let go
I can′t let you go

Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all, fortress coming down
I know we can't save it all
No we can′t save it all, everything is gone
Oh, I have seen it all
Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all, fortress coming down

Oh, there'll come a time, this I know
There′ll come a time, you'll look back and regret when it′s gone
You'll look back and regret when it's gone
There′ll come a time, this I know
There′ll come a time, you look back and regret when it's gone
You′ll look back and regret when it's gone


In the end, too far gone, this I can′t deny
Still I keep holding on, you know
There's still time
On the outside looking in everything seems fine
But the fortress caving in comes down
On me tonight

Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all, fortress coming down
I know we can′t save it all
No we can't save it all, everything is gone
Oh, I have seen it all
Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all

Just take it all
Just take it all
Just take it all
